Re: Measuring a multipart distance? SH3D has a "smart system of hints" that show where the cursor or an object is relative to another point. Think of info you get when inserting doors/windows, drawing a room, drawing a wall or dimension. On the one side nice and helpful, on the other side useless if you do not draw your points/lines to exact X,Y coordinates. A wall that is approximately 2 meters long, is not a wall that is useful for a builder, architect or planning commision. The same goes for dimensions. If you draw dimensions along the above walls, they're nice as a kind of general information, but useless as a tool for building or specification. Recently a user wrote about developing a new plugin or even fork of the program, where connections would be elastic-magnetic. When that would become a reality, you could connect dimensions elastically and change them with wall lengths. (is this still clear??) I know this is a feature that in some form or other has been asked by many people, and I can see it would be loved by many, including me Multi-point dimensions could be interesting, especially after elastic-magnetic connections are implemented and in combination with an excellent "smart system of hints".
