( Hint: you can also type in -50.00 into the same dial in Parameters.) Select the “ Protractor Target” and slide it along the “ Z Translate” axis until your Measure Metrics plane reads “Protractor 45.0000”. This is much more useful for what you need to do. It now reads 90 degrees and the Protractor is laying flush on the ground plane. The data in the Measure Metrics pane has changes. Rotate it -90 degrees on the “ X Rotate” dial Go ahead and delete any leftover nodes from the previous sections. Next, you will learn to use the Protractor node. (More techniques and combined measuring results will be covered in the “Advanced” sections below.) You can add one or more nodes at a time, in any combination two Tape Measures, a Tape Measure and a Protractor. Rotate, Translate, Drop to Floor, Scale in any combination you need to get the results you desire. You can use the tools to move un-parented nodes anywhere in your scene. You can also see that we have multiple Tailor Tapes loaded in the scene and the Measure Metrics pane gives us separate measurements for each. Yes it will! Remember earlier you saw that the plugin is made of nodes so that you can use the DAZ Studio tools? Simply rotate the node on the “Z Rotate” axis, or use the “Scale” as we have done here. “ Ha! I have you now! I just want to measure a wrist or a single thigh and this tool won't do that!” This is because it is now measuring the targeted clothing item instead of the figure underneath. You now have a measurement over the clothing, but “0” over all other areas Play and experiment to see what suits you best. There are many uses for the Tape Measure. This will allow you to make several measurements from a single location, without re-positioning the Tape Measure each time. Also notice, the avatar stays positioned on the spot it was parented. Next, select the “ Tape Measure Target” in your scene and move it to the elbow as shown in thisĪs you can see, the null is centered on the elbow bend, and the measurement is approximately 8.95 inches, depending on your exact placement.ĭrag the null to different parts of the figure and watch the measurements change. The tape measure avatar will follow since you parented it to the hand. Move the tape measure avatar to the top of the left wrist and bend the forearm about -50 degrees. It will also be set to target a null which has been added to the scene. This will create your new tape measure, and at the same time, parent it to the hand. Give it an appropriate name – Distance From Hand might work here.
