Tape Measure Tool No longer leaving the tick mark

SketchUp
1

I’m sure it’s a setting that I’ve accidentally changed, but when I click in one location and drag the tape measure tool to another location and click again, I’m no longer seeing the little tick mark for that measurement. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Are you referring to the guidepoint?

Make sure Guides is checked in the View menu. Did you press Ctrl while using the Tape Measure tool? If so, what happens if you press it again?

Does the cursor look like this?

cursor_measure_600x600
cursor_measure_600x600600×600 104 KB

Or like this?

cursor_measureadd_600x600
cursor_measureadd_600x600600×577 99.5 KB

That was it. Guides in View menu. THANKS SO MUCH. It was driving me crazy

Good deal. I expect you found all sorts of guides when you turned them back on.

If you aren’t already doing so, I would suggest getting rid of guides as soon as they’ve served their purpose. I’ve set up a keyboard shortcut for Delete Guides which gets used frequently.
