OpenSCAD doesn’t have a measure feature. All that you get is a model preview overlaid on a 3D scale

I can’t imagine drawing up a complex machine with OpenSCAD, but apparently some people do it. https://medium.com/@urish/designing-3d-printable-mechanisms-in-openscad-5838dcb65b39 Can’t argue with the price. > On May 31, 2020, at 12:50 PM, Chris Albertson <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Any CAD system should allow an exact measure, click on a circle, and see > the diameter out to the full resolution you have set, typically 0.001mm. > You should be reading out the numbers not visually comparing to an > on-screen scale.
