Fusion
In the below video I'm trying to measure the distance between parallel faces. The measure tool displays the angle between the faces [0º] but never shows the distance between the two faces:
Geometry created in Fusion by extruding sketch objects.
The two faces, you are measuring between at a "very" small angle to each other. Fusion 360 will not give a distance between two faces unless they are parallel to each other.

Distance between planar faces is only reported if the faces are parallel. If they are no parallel, the angle is reported. These are off by just a little:

I keep getting this error when either attaching a video or image. Let's hope it works this time.

Hi thanks.
Any idea why those faces are at an angle? The below video shows how I created those soft jaws. I did not drive a sketch off an offset plane that was rotated 1.382E-05º. I drove the first sketch off the origin's XY plane, extruded the rectangle, drove the second sketch off the top of the extruded rectangle and then extruded the circles.
Unfortunately with no history recorded there's no real way to figure out where this has gone wrong.
There are some oddities like this shows 90°
And This!
So top face and bottom of cylinder should be parallel!
But an axis through the cylinder shows an angle between the face and the cylinder centreline. But with no sketches left in the design and no history hard to know where and why it's gone wrong.
