Hi KRUM

I've found the UnwrapCurve plug-in particularly useful when working with Flow:

there also exists a CurveLength-script:

quote:
CurveLengthV2 – It is possible to measure a length of curve in v2 by setting up a keyboard shortcut with this as the command. Then when you push that shortcut key it will calculate the length of the selected curves and copy it to the clipboard as text, and you can paste it into a text editor to see it.
quote:
script:/* Calculate length of selected curves and copy to the clipboard as text */ var crvs = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects().getCurves(); var len = 0.0; for ( var i = 0; i < crvs.length; ++i ) len += crvs.item(i).getLength(); moi.copyTextToClipboard( len );
