But how can one do a tape measure along the z axis in ortho view. I'm trying to measure organic objects with many faces (a dog scan), so snaps are not that useful. I'm just trying to get an approximate with of, say, a leg at a certain point along the z axis in an ortho view. The tape will not work in the ortho views.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>In a related problem, I can't make a rectangle in an otho view on the xz axis. any ideas?&nbsp;</P> Wed, 18 Aug 2021 23:40:57 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/3ds-max-modeling-forum/tape-measure-not-working-in-orthographic-view/m-p/10556439#M3413 brit_b 2021-08-18T23:40:57Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/3ds-max-modeling-forum/tape-measure-not-working-in-orthographic-view/m-p/10556855#M3414 <P>Ok, I figured this out (again).
