111.121513mm

Does this for a nuclear Centrral Plant ?

i guess its my drive to make it perfect as possible,and no its not for a nuclear power plant LOL
yeah i did come out to a pretty long decimal point.
im still wanting to know how to turn off auto snap

Im not sure how to set the auto snap, but heres the photo again callipers are set to 111.11mm i got my measurement from near the tips.
If it would help i could retake it close and with the very tip of the callipers visible.

yeah its not to hard with tripod and post processing the image to remove the lens deformation. to get it pretty good i managed to my surprise to get it to read my callipers set to 111.11 as 111.121513mm its off a bit... but since i cant measure past that it will do.

for the larger curves that will be at half way cant i make the full length and cut the rest out would that give a better result?

ok i was trying to get my scale nearly 100% which is proving to be real "fun". ive measured the part and the image over and over its not turing out like id like.
But what if i took the picture again with my callipers in the image set to 111.11mm and used that to scale with instead of trying to get a accurate number from the tape tool?

Brilliant or dumb i have no idea ill try it though.
Dave R thanks for the tips. i was also rotating it the wrong way that for sure

Pilou, thanks i didn't know what that blue line meant but it makes a lot more sense now. i have the part made in sketchup now. Its not perfect i wish i had the room for a scanner as i live on a sail boat.. my prusa i3 owns the largest flat surface lol

do you have any tips for making all the cutouts symmetrical if i were to make it in a half part and mirror it?

i dont have access to a scanner, i wish i did though.
thanks pilou you helped a bunch but what is the "turquoise line" ?
so i went back a started from scratch it started to make sense once i had it set to parallel and top view.

Im trying to replicate 2 parts from photos, but i do i have the parts in hand.
the parts have nearly all curved edges and are roughly 7.40mm thick and 3mm.
i've tried many plugins to try and make these curves but nothing in my minimum skill set would work. So please if someone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

The dimensions for the bumper upper are LWH 111.75mm X 29.54mm X 3mm the lower bumper is 113.33mm X 30.65mm X 7.4mm.
