two Newbie questions here, So I created a cube lets say 222 I want to resize to 2.2522 Anyway to do this quickly and precisely? Any way to click on an edge and type the new value for the length, width, depth? I know I can do this as I am creating it or use the gumball and type values for moving…

[image] kencfii: Any way to click on an edge and type the new value for the length, width, depth? 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 a…

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 . -Pascal

Thanks Guys, I will try these when I get a chance… can’t wait… Any ideas on my second question? Is there a way to slect an object, say a cube and have Rhino give the specs? Length, width, volume, etc? Maybe the BoxEdit command does that but I am not near a computer that has Rhino… Ahhh :smile:

[image] wim: BoundingBox will do that. …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 w…

You guys are awesome. Thanks - A combination of these works for me! Thanks for the script offer - I think these techniques will help without you having to make me a script. I like having to learn the proper way to do things in this software. A great part of these forums is that you provide excel…

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 …

[image] martel: Ok when i draw a line, i cannot see it’s length dynamically. Rhino Options > Modeling Aids > Cursor ToolTips > Distance - see if that helps. [image] martel: but cannot set it to desired value :frowning: it is a read only command. To scale something, use one of the sca…
