This is an application-based manual for the GigaMesh Software framework. It shows basic processing steps typically and also very often used within our projects. Many of the steps can be combined for more advanced tasks. Theoretical concepts can be found in the publications section. For earlier versions of the manual click here.

08. Distance Measurement between Points
Absolute Distance
To measure the absolute distance from point to point, choose Select → Positions - SelPrims. Then hold ctrl and click with the left mouse button on the points to measure. Blue dots appear at each point. There may be set more than two points at once but the last point should be set with the right mouse button to end the polyline. It is also possible to set another polyline afterwards. To display the measuring results, choose Analyze → Positions - SelPrims - Euclidean Distances. A box appears with the lengths of the segments of the measured polyline(s), ordered as measured.
To deselect the points, choose Select → Positions - SelPrims - Deselect All.
Geodesic Distance
To measuer the geodesic distance between two points along the surface, press ctrl and click on the first point. Choose Analyze → Geodesic Distance to SelVert. Then press ctrl again and click on the second point. Press i to view the information about it. The function value is the distance between these points.
