During modelling phase, we may sometimes need to a specific edge to edge spacing/ distance between to two elements ( such as supports, ducts, sockets, lights, switches, cable trays or equipments) , if we can measure them in Revit 3D view directly same as like it is possible in navisworks..then it is helpful for modelling phases.
Checking a measure in 3D views is a very basic functionality ... it's incredible is still missing...
As a developer, I can say, yes, there is a simple 'solution' dated back in 2011 showing it's possible to mimic something similar, but the problem is you must select a plane before taking the points, and if the two points (or three for an angle) are not on the same (easy selectable) plane, the procedure is quite clumsy... pick plane, pick point, pick plane, pick point...
So, to Autodesk API developers: it'd be great if you could add an option to the PickPoint() method or add a new PickGlobalPoint() method that will allow user to select a point on a 3d view using snaps and returning its absolute global position.
This will come handy for a number of uses, while the need to select a plane will obviously remain for the functions that need to place planar objects, like dims.
I'll add my 53 cents. Yes! A measuring tool is needed in 3D views. I understand dimensioning not being available, but a simple measure tool would be extremely helpful. I'm constantly going up to that measure tool only to see it greyed out. Very frustrating.
Congratulations! We are updating this thread to Gathering Support. We are continuing to evaluate where this request falls into our roadmap and will provide an update when we have made a decision.
@Anonymous I came across this post today searching for something else. I was curious to see if you have used the now-implemented Path of Travel tool for your scenario?
Just started using Revit 2021 (!). So, you are kidding I cannot check the distance between two faces in 3D, right?! (Maybe I accidentally bought Revit '99 or something....)
For everyone suggesting to use sketch-up or navisworks as a reference of a 'good 3d measuring tool'.... Autodesk SHOULD just base the tool upon the latest Autodesk Inventor measuring tool which is by far the easiest to use.
