Mesure distances in section view

brunono553

Hi, 

I'd need to be able to mesure distances while using section view; exactly like if I cutted the parts I need to mesure by the section view plane. Something like this: (I actually cutted the part for doing measurements)

You'll need to actually cut the parts to measure them.

I would also like this functionality. Until this functionality is implemented, here is a custom feature that may speed your process up: Section View

And how can I do to achieve that kind of measurements when I'm exploring versions ? As versions are read only, I can't do this split



So I've to branch, then split. Quite an heavy process for a simple measurement

Thanks ! This is brillant and certainly will speed up my process !

Hm, you could branch the version, then split the model. Onshape Learning Center - Branching and Merging

Just remember to go back to main for your real work! I have found it tricky to know which version I'm in and have spent hours making changes to the wrong branch before... Perhaps there is a way to be notified or make it clear if the user is not within "Main".

It looks like this feature hasn't been implemented yet. Any plan to add this?

It's there. You need to section, then select the measure tool.
