Nope… As you mentioned, you can (for your specific example) Ctrl+Shift+Click on one of the sides and with Gumball click on the arrow in the direction you want to move and enter .25. There are about a dozen other ways to do this as well in Rhino, bit no direct property editing such as you mention.
HI Ken- try this: select the cube, start Scale1d. Snap the origin point for the scale at one end of an edge that you would like to make 2.25, set the first reference point at the other end of the same edge and type in 2.25 and .
…if the cube happens to be oriented along the principal axes…
Otherwise, for arbitrarily oriented objects it is more difficult. You can get the length of one or more edges with the Length command, the surface area with the Area command and the volume with the Volume command (assuming it’s closed) but for getting a list of edge lengths of individual boxlike objects, you would need a script… I can try and put one together later today perhaps if it’s useful.
Hi guys,
i am very new to Rhino. By the way I know Solidworks modelling verywell. Ok when i draw a line, i cannot see it’s length dynamically. In solidworks when you click a line or an edge of an object or a circle, you can immediately see it’s length or diameter. Even you can set those values to desired ones with a few simple clicks on the screen. In Rhino, there is box edit. But in that you cannot see the length of a line just can see x,y,z values which in this case are useless There is a length command which gives what i want :):) but cannot set it to desired value it is a read only command.
Also, is there a “relation or constrain” kind of modelling? I mean, i draw a line, and, about right angle draw another line. But decided to make those perpendicular to each other and stay like that.
Need your help.
(By the way I think Kencfii is asking something like in Autodesk Fusion 360 you can see length, diameter, area etc on the screen all the time)
