Measuring Tools - Add Horizontal and Vertical

In Control you have the ability to use the horizontal and vertical dimensioning when in the cross-section views. Would be nice to add these for field users.

    Hi Ryan,

    Thank you very much for the clarification, completely my misunderstanding and I appreciate the additional screenshot.

    Let me discuss this with the development team and then come back to you with more information.

    I have changed the Idea status from "Already exists" to "Future Consideration".

    Kind regards,

    Luke

    Good Morning,

    Yes, I think you misunderstood what I was looking for. I'm aware you can use the distance command within the cross-section views but that doesn't give you a "dimensioning" type measurement which comes from those tools in the previous screenshot I attached. I attached another screenshot to clarify what I was looking for.

    Hello Ryan,

    Thanks for raising this Idea.

    I may have misunderstood your request however I believe the functionality you require already exists in Field.

    In the attached screenshot, I have selected an element in the Model. Under "Tools" I have selected "Cross section: perpendicular" and then, once I have the cross-section, I have clicked on Tools again and then "Distance", with this I am able to measure distance both vertically and horizontally.

    Please let me know if this is what you are looking for?

    Many thanks,

    Luke
