            Bet I can. You have to pour more beer into me than that to get me to trip up on that one. πŸ˜†

                    Hi folks.

                    It is Noah that took animals on an ark.

                    Just ideas.

                      What if it is unknown. If I have to measure unknown arch. How to do that at SU.
                      An example how I would like it to be. But maybe there are some ways of doing that??

                      That would be a nice way. A pity its not on standard tools 😞

                      Of course, you can always count if you know arch radius and segments (all that you can see in Entity info ) or copy arch/ explode it, select all and then you will be able to see the length of exploded arch in Entity info.

                        There isn't a tool to make an arc dimension line. You can do that manually and add the dimension you read from Entity Info. There's no need to explode the arc.

                          Hi
                          but how/ where? You have to explode to see the length/ or is there another method?
                          See images, please.


                          not exploded arch shows radius and segments


                          exploded/ can see length of one segment


                          exploded/ chooses all and can see total length

                          /IP

                            Haven't you ever wondered what would happen if you click on that button in the upper right corner of the Entity Info window?

                            Here's a circle, unexploded, and you can clearly see its length or circumference.

                            It's also the circumference of the circle, not the sum of the lengths of the edge segments.
