Thx, that's good to know. There's no plugin that can do this either I suppose.

Is this possible or do you always have to ungroup the objects first?

The Query tool tip is very useful. I couldn't find it at first but saw that I had to activate it in my extensions panel first ; ). The good thing is that it's in realtime and I do not have to select an object or ungroup it. I set up a shortcut for it which works great.

Thx Wo3Dan!

Thx Pilou,

I didn't know that if you click on an edge it shows it's length in the Entity Info panel, that's quite helpful.
I installed the get dimensions plugin you mentioned which is also quite handy, especially for grouped objects.

Yes I understand how the measurements box works but like you say, it only shows the dimensions of an object when you're drawing it. I was looking for an easy way to see the dimensions of my objects without having to use the tape measure tool. The click on edge trick works quite good although it's not ideal imo. It would better if you could customize the Entity Info panel to your liking.

Thx again for the replies!

Is there a way to see the dimensions of face instantly without having to use the tape measure? I can see the dimensions of a face in cm2 in the entity info box but I would like to see to see to width and length of a face. It's a very basic feature but doesn't seem to exist in SketchUp which surprises me. Perhaps there is a plugin that can do this?

Any help much appreciated.
