It's a good explanation of the basics of the ruler tool when assembling from the start. But what I want is somebody to show me (or tinkercad to provide), a measuring tool so I can measure the distance perhaps between hole centers, or fractional units. So far, haven't been able to find that. Not w/o a lot of ungrouping/regrouping on complicated parts.
Thank you very much! I've somewhat ignored the ruler as I couldn't make enough sense out of it.....watched a few other vids and nothing was anywhere near as clear as what you've presented here. It's made it clear that I can use it as a powerful tool now. 👍🏴
Excellent! Thank you! Very clear and easy to understand. Now I can use the ruler instead of dimensioning blocks and moving them around to measure things lol
The final hint that is missing in this tutorial, is that if you click the circle in the corner of the ruler, the whole ruler will be rotated in steps of 90 degrees.
Hi, I am curious as to how you can use the ruler tool to measure the top radius/diameter of a cone. The ruler works for the bottom of the cone but not the top value and I can't seem to find a way to do this.
Excellent tutorial. That ruler boggled me.... and i discovered that i was using the ruler wrong.. it does not measure inside an object (ex.a square cut out in an object)..i had to measure the cut out before i merged it...
So there is no way to get measurements of a tapered object like a cone or bottle? It seems to only measure the widest part of the object regardless of orientation.
Tinker cads measuring system sucks and even the snap to grid sucks and the grid needs to be able to be expansive not so limited so many flaws sucks it’s kindve essay but not really to use but after a while and lining stuff up and counting with tapping on the arrow buttons so many times for the MM it’ll take forever but eventually work out
That's not everything, actually. What if I had an imported .stl file that is a disk with a hole in the middle, and I wanted to measure the diameter of the hole? I am in a quandary... Thank you
Ya, my problem also, and nobody has a good solution it seems. What's in this video is kind of obvious, but the problem of measuring holes in parts is a huge problem for me. I know some people bring objects from the side, check their measurements and then fit them in the holes but when I've tried that, the alignment is always a little off.
This ruler tool is absolutely useless when you're trying to measure dimensions of an imported .stl file, unless that file is just a regular cube with nothing else lol As soon as that cube has a hole in it and you're trying to measure the dimensions of that hole, you're out of luck seemingly. At least I can't figure out how to do it in tinkercad.

Yeah, so far, everything is showing basic shape distances. Well what if I want to measure something that tinkercad isn't auto displaying?
yeaa, i want the measurements of 2 holes on a 45 degre angle. But i can just guess. this is crap
This series was very heloful. Thank you!

Brief and to the point
That is by far the best and most complete explanation that I've seen of the ruler tool. Well done.
Thank you for this… I was never able to make sense of the ruler tool and this video makes it so clear!
By far the best channel I've come across for a newbie like myself! Not sure why you have so few subs, but here is +1!
Oh wow thanks so much. I really appreciate it. Hope the video was helpful
Very important video to understand ruler tool
Excellent! Thank you! Very clear and easy to understand. Now I can use the ruler instead of dimensioning blocks and moving them around to measure things lol
Awesome glad I could add another tool to your arsenal
Great short informative video!
That was the goal! Thanks!
Thx for video. Now i can use the ruler even better than before.
That’s great! Best of luck on your future models.
Very Cool!!!! I Am Learning Alot!!!! Thank You!!!!!👍😎🔥
That’s so awesome. You are very welcome. It makes my day knowing that they are helpful. I put a lot of work into this series. Thanks for the comments.
Great tool, and the very useful 👏👏👏 thank you very much for the great explanation! 😍😍
You're very welcome! Thanks for the comment.

Thank you.
Can you please tell me how I can measure the inside diameter of a circle?
Thanks.

Anything that helps get the precise length of an curved/bent object?
Excellent tutorial. That ruler boggled me.... and i discovered that i was using the ruler wrong.. it does not measure inside an object (ex.a square cut out in an object)..i had to measure the cut out before i merged it...

I dont get anything like that, all I get is just a ruler...
I still cant figure out how to measure a hole inside an object...

Operates differently in Android
That's not everything, actually. What if I had an imported .stl file that is a disk with a hole in the middle, and I wanted to measure the diameter of the hole? I am in a quandary... Thank you

Have you found any solution to being able to measure the inside diameter?
Thanks
@@CybaGirl - Nope, still no clue.
