OpenSCAD recently got a Measure tool:

OpenSCAD's strength --- that it makes it easy to create 3D designs which are easily represented mathematically using cubes, spheres, cylinders, cones, and assemblies and distortions thereof is also its weakness --- what one can do in OpenSCAD is strongly bounded by one's fluency in mathematics/geometry/trigonometry (says the guy who is stuck on conic sections in a particular project and needs a solution which is faster to calculate).
Still waiting for the Python-enabled version to make it big:

- kiba 2y agoBeing able to do object oriented programming is going to make reasoning about geometrical objects much easier. I like the measuring tool but I prefer doing something more permanent like labeling it.
- lucasoshiro 2y ago> OpenSCAD recently got a Measure tool Sadly, in the GUI, it would be really nice if I could do something like: module myObj() { import("bla.stl"); } myObjDimensions = dimensions(myObj); translate([0, 0, myObjDimensions.z]) cube(); But this couldn't even be a valid SCAD code...
- WillAdams 2y agoI am sure that a patch which implemented that would be gladly accepted.
