Hi everyone,
I’ve made a small plugin called Curic Measure++.
It’s not a new tool - just an add-on that shows more information when you use the native Tape Measure in SketchUp.
It uses the Overlay API (SketchUp 2023 and above) to display measurements directly as you hover.
Here are some things it can do:
- Show object dimensions (length, width, height) and recognize basic shapes like box, cylinder, or bar.
- Act like a laser to check the clear space between objects.
- Measure object thickness by casting a reverse ray - helpful for walls, panels, slabs.
- Measure distance from objects to nearby faces, edges, guides, or axes.
- Detect and measure openings (like doors or windows) on a face.
- Pin measurements - keep information visible for a point (like coordinates) or a line (with visual dimension).
- Hold Shift to check angles between edges or faces.
- Detect and measure repeating objects (like arrays, stairs, copies…).
- Easily check the center and radius of arcs and circles by simply hovering over them.
You don’t need to activate a new tool or set shortcuts. Simply activate the Tape Measure and hover over it; the information will appear automatically.
Like Curic Scale++ and Curic Line++, this plugin is built using the Overlay system for a smooth and lightweight experience.
You can get it here.
Hope it’s helpful. Feedback is always welcome.
