Newbie question about object size

by Alberto Meyer · in Constructor · 04/13/2007 (11:11 am) · 3 replies

Hello, just a newbie question: how can I "measure" the size of a object in Constructor. I can see, in values, the coords, but not the size, in meters, of an object.

Thanks in advance

The coords are equal to meters.

You can also import a Reference Shape to do comparisons against (like the orc vs your doorway).

Thanks Matt. The values shows me the size, or the position? It will be very useful if we can set teh size of a object numerically, like Silo.

Which "values" are you referring to specifically? The ones on the "Values" form show the projected position of the mouse in the viewport it is hovering over. The ones on the brush creation tools show both size and position. The ones in the transform tool offset values that will be applied to your selected objects.

The closest thing to being able to set the size numerically is to use the Bounds Scale tool.
