      I know there is a debate about the usefullness of length snapping in sketchup.
      But it has been used efficiently by scaffplan:

      From what i red, there is no way to customise sketchup length snapping though ruby, except changing the step.

      Is there a way to do it?
      for example make the cursor jump to 0.3 / 0.5 / 0.7 / 1.0 / 1.5 / 2.0... m, which are usual length of scaffolding components?

        length snapping does not get a lot of interest, but i add information on how i solved my problem, in case of somebody might find it useful in the future...

        in my case length snapping was not the solution

        The cursor movement is not changed; instead, a message is shown based upon the movement of the mouse, so the user can decide when it is time to stop moving the mouse and click the second point

        this is low level programming, but it works.
