Measure panel
This script displays in OBJECT MODE:
* The distance of the 3D cursor to the origin of the
3D space (if NOTHING is selected).
* The distance of the 3D cursor to the center of an object
(if exactly ONE object is selected).
* The distance between 2 object centers
(if exactly TWO objects are selected).
* The surface area of any selected mesh object.
Display in EDIT MODE (Local and Global space supported):
* The distance of the 3D cursor to the origin
(in Local space it is the object center instead).
* The distance of the 3D cursor to a selected vertex.
* The distance between 2 selected vertices.
Usage:
This functionality can be accessed via the
"Properties" panel in 3D View ([N] key).
It's very helpful to use one or two "Empty" objects with
"Snap during transform" enabled for fast measurement.
Version history:
v0.6.3 - Added register & unregister functions.
v0.6.2 - Fixed precision of second area property.
Reduced display precision to 5 (instead of 6).
Added (commented out code) for shortcut [F5] for
updating EditMode selection & calculation.
Changed the script so it can be managed from the "Add-Ons" tab
in the user preferences.
Corrected FSF address.
v0.6.1 - Updated reenter_editmode operator description.
Fixed search for selected mesh objects.
Added "BU^2" after values that are not yet translated via "unit".
v0.6
*) Fix: Removed EditMode/ObjectMode toggle stuff. This causes all the
crashes and is generally not stable.
Instead I've added a manual "refresh" button.
I registered a new operator OBJECT_OT_reenter_editmode for this.
*) Use "unit" settings (i.e. none/metric/imperial)
*) Fix: Only display surface area (>=3 objects) if return value is >=0.
*) Minor: Renamed objectFaceArea to objectSurfaceArea
*) Updated Vector() and tuple() usage.
*) Fixed some comments.
v0.5 - Global surface area (object mode) is now calculated as well.
Support area calculation for face selection.
Also made measurement panel closed by default. (Area calculation
may use up a lot of CPU/RAM in extreme cases)
v0.4.1 - Various cleanups.
Using the shorter "scene" instead of "context.scene"
New functions measureGlobal() and measureLocal() for
user-friendly access to the "space" setting.
v0.4 - Calculate & display the surface area of mesh
objects (local space only right now).
Expanded global/local switch.
Made "local" option for 3Dcursor-only in edit mode actually work.
Fixed local/global calculation for 3Dcursor<->vertex in edit mode.
v0.3.2 - Fixed calculation & display of local/global coordinates.
The user can now select via dropdown which space is wanted/needed
Basically this is a bugfix and new feature at the same time :-)
v0.3.1 - Fixed bug where "measure_panel_dist" wasn't defined
before it was used.
Also added the distance calculation "origin -> 3D cursor" for edit mode.
v0.3 - Support for mesh edit mode (1 or 2 selected vertices)
v0.2.1 - Small fix (selecting nothing didn't calculate the distance
of the cursor from the origin anymore)
v0.2 - Distance value is now displayed via a FloatProperty widget (and
therefore saved to file too right now [according to ideasman42].
The value is save inside the scene right now.)
Thanks goes to ideasman42 (Campbell Barton) for helping me out on this.
v0.1 - Initial revision. Seems to work fine for most purposes.
TODO:
There is a random segmentation fault when moving the 3D cursor in edit mode.
Mainly this happens when clicking inside the white circle of the translation
manipulator. There may be other cases though.
See the other "todo" comments below.
