Hi Marek, yeah that one command is it currently for this in MoI.

So right now you generally need to export your model to a different CAD program to get those kinds of measurements. Rhino works well for this purpose, even the trial version.

I do plan on adding these in for MoI v3. Previously the focus was more on drawing and modeling tools and not so much on analysis or information gathering tools.

Hi Michael,

"So right now you generally need to export your model to a different CAD program to get those kinds of measurements".

Right.

Since it's a great free form architecture 3D sketch tool it would be much more valuable with features like these.
It's strong where the Sketchup is weak.

Yup, I definitely agree, and I do plan to add them!

Well, how much more you have to shell out?
Another $1k for Rhino just for that? €4k for ArchiCAD combined with MoI and Sketchup is good enough for me now.
