How to measure inside a part

[Karol-Or]

I made a screw that intrudes into a part, but not to the end.

I want to measure the remaining distance, so, i have to select the face of the screw and the hole in the part.

I cannot do that since the program doesn't let me select the faces.

I tried to slice the part with the half section view, but when i press the measure tool the section view ends.

When creating the section view you must Accept it before selecting the measure tool.

or

you could use the Select Other tool to get internal faces.

Or you can switch to perspective mode( RMB view cube ) and you can view inside the model or navigate inside the model

Hi JD

With 2014 i have graphical issue, can you confirm? when i surf inside the model some face become on wireframe style, lost the shade.

Other thing when the zoom doesn't zoom in the model use shift+f3 and that's reset the zoom.

How to navigate inside the model?
Perspective mode, for me, just changes the shape of the body

Turn your mouse wheel.

When i turn the wheel it only zooms in or out, the whole assembly.
Do i have to be in a half screen section?
