We're excited to announce we've released a measure tool in the main Forma design mode!

With Measure Distance, you can take measurements between any two points in 3D space.

This is our first tool built on a new 3D platform in Forma, which will enable us to provide integrated 3D workflows inside Forma's main design mode. For this tool specifically, this platform provides richer snapping and inferencing, which will feel familiar to those using 3D Sketch or FormIt:

This first iteration of Measure Distance will create temporary dimensions, which will disappear when the tool ends, or when the next measure point is placed.

 

You can read more about Measure Distance here, or you can jump right in and try it out by clicking the button at the bottom of the main toolbar:

Enjoy, and let us know what you think!
