Measure curved surfaces
-
Is there any way to measure a curved surface in Sketchup?
-
What kind of a curved surface and what do you want to measure? It's surface area? Length? Radius?
A more detailed description of what you've got and what you're after would be a big help.
-
Your basic question has generated more questions. Measure from where to where? Area? Circumference of the circle inferred by the curve? Radius of the curve? The curvature of the curve?

I am making a model of a Norcon talk thru communicator. There is a goose neck microphone that needs to be 18". I used the follow me tool to trace a path, but I am not sure how long the path is since it has two curves (one going down, one going up).

Open Entity Info and select the curves and any other segments in the path. The length will be displayed there.
