Determines the X, Y, and Z coordinates of a selected point on the model.

Determines the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the center of an a selected arc on the model.

Measures an existing straight line edge on the model. The edge is highlighted when the pointer is properly positioned.

Measures the distance between a selected surface you pick and the nearest surface.

Every surface has a normal, that is, a vector perpendicular to the surface. When you pick a point on a surface, SpinFire Ultimate searches the normal in the opposite direction until it comes across another surface. The thickness measurement is the distance between the point on the surface you picked and the corresponding point on the opposite surface.

Measures the distance between two selected points that you select on the model. By default, this command measures a line directly connecting the two points.

You can also choose to measure the distance between two points with respect to the X-, Y-, or Z-axis by selecting the appropriate radio button in the Point to Point dialog box. To change an existing measurement, mouse over the markup label and rightRight-click to access the context menua markup to change its properties.

Measures the distance between a vertex selected point and an existing straight edge on the model.

Measures the distance between the center of an existing a selected arc on the model and an existing straight edge on the model.

Measures the distance between the centers of two existing arcs on the model.

Measures the distance between the center of an existing a selected arc on the model and an existing a surface point on the model.

Measures the distance between two points on two surfaces or on the same surface a surface on the model or between two points on two different surfaces.

Measures the distance between a point on a model surface and a selected edge.

Measures the length of a tube between first and last radii selections—generates the total centerline length.

Calculates Measures the most direct shortest distance between two sets of points or surfaces.

Calculates the minimum thickness of a set of points or surfaces.

Measures the shortest distance between two edges of on the model.

Calculates Measures the most direct shortest distance between two surfaces.

Calculates Measures the most direct shortest distance from a selected arc center point to a surface.

Measures the center point of a boundary defined by connected edges. SpinFire Ultimate will automatically find the connected edges that form the boundary and then determine the center point.

You may need to click more than one edge for SpinFire Ultimate to be able to determine the boundary center. For example, if you click an edge on a cube, SpinFire Ultimate will not know which square boundary you want to define. When you click a second edge, SpinFire Ultimate will then be able to calculate the boundary and determine the center point.

Measures the area of a boundary defined by connected edges. SpinFire Ultimate will automatically find the connected edges that form the boundary and then determine the boundary area.

You may need to click more than one edge for SpinFire Ultimate to be able to determine the boundary area. For example, if you click an edge on a cube, SpinFire Ultimate will not know which square boundary you want to define. When you click a second edge, SpinFire Ultimate will then be able to calculate the boundary and determine the area.

Measures the distance between two flat parallel surfaces.

If you select a second surface that is not flat and parallel to the first pick, an error message appearswill appear.

The attachment point from on the first selected surface is projected onto the second surface.
