I tried to simply check the information tab the bounds of each cylinder and
then to calculate the Norma (sqrt((x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2+(z1-z2)^2) for two
points p1(x1,y1,z1) and p2(x2,y2,z2) each point from another cylinder). But
then I figured out that the bounds are actually the *bounding box's bounds*.

So, my question is: how am I getting the information about a point which
was extracted from a cylinder?
I guess that a solution might be: filter->extract selection->information
tab and then as described above. but I'm searching for a *shorter way* ...

any suggestions?

Best,
Hila.
