How to measure on a face

Hello,

 

How can I measure distances and angles across a curved/warped/bent single face? Please reference the included images as illustrations of the question.

 

The white measurements are the result from using the "measure" tool, which, as apparent in the images, doesnt give the distance along the face, as illustrated by the red lines/arrows, but trather the shortest path between the points being measured.

Hi,

1. The profile must be splitted to measure the arc length.
To do this, it is projected in the desired plane using project intersect (no link). With the BREAK TOOL the profile is separated at defined points and can then be measured.

2. I use the Split Face tool to measure the distances. This way I can then measure them.
