PYTHON COMMAND: roughen(label,object,rms_height,corel_Length)
 
==Random Group Tool==
PYTHON COMMAND: random_group(label,key_object,container_object,element_count)
==Distance Tool==
 
ICON: [[File:Measure tool tn.png]]
 
MENU: '''Tools → Measure → Distance'''
 
KEYBOARD SHORTCUT: '''Shift+D'''
 
FUNCTION: Measures the distance between any two point in project units
 
TO MEASURE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS:
 
# Activate the '''Distance Tool'''.
# Click on the first point either somewhere in the project workspace or a snap point of an existing object.
# Click on the second point.
# A dialog pops up at the lower right corner of the screen showing the distance between the two points as well as the three X, Y, Z components of the vector extending from the start point to the end point.
 
 
SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: You can measure the distances among several points successively.
 
PYTHON COMMAND: None
 
==Angle Tool==
 
ICON: [[File:angle_tool_tn.png]]
 
MENU: '''Tools → Measure → Distance'''
 
KEYBOARD SHORTCUT: '''Shift+A'''
 
FUNCTION: Measures the angle between any two edges belonging to the same object or to different objects in degrees
 
TO MEASURE THE ANGLE BETWEEN TWO EDGES:
 
# Activate the '''Angle Tool'''.
# Click on the first edge to establish the first leg.
# Click on the second edge of the same object or another object to establish the second leg.
# A dialog pops up at the lower right corner of the screen showing the angle between the two legs in degrees as well as the X, Y, Z components of the unit vectors along the two selected edges.
 
 
PYTHON COMMAND: None
 
==Extents Tool==
 
ICON: [[File:info_tool_tn.png]]
 
MENU: '''Tools → Measure → Extents'''
 
KEYBOARD SHORTCUT: '''Shift+E'''
 
FUNCTION: Measures the length, surface area or volume of a geometric object
 
TO MEASURE THE EXTENTS OF AN OBJECT:
 
# Activate the '''Extents Tool'''.
# Hover the mouse over any object in the project workspace.
# A dialog pops up at the lower right corner of the screen. If the highlighted object is a curve, the dialog shows its arc length. If the highlighted object is a surface, the dialog shows its area. If the highlighted object is a solid, the dialog shows both its volume and total surface area.
 
 
SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: You can compute the extents of several objects successively.
 
PYTHON COMMAND: None
 
get_length(object)
 
get_area(object)
 
get_volume(object)
