Cheers, orrence. Hi macouno,

Great to see people are still finding the script useful. I hope I'll find the time to do a nice new version of it for Blender 2.5, and I expect that it should be possible to make it more user friendly/dynamic then as well. Dolf Hey nice to stumble on this.

BTW, maybe this should be categorized under tips? Great! :) I like to do architectural modeling and this will come in handy.

great script, but imho it should be a standard feature in blender.

Dynamic systems like fluids can also be affected. From the demonstration videos I've seen, Blender 2.5 is going to have a setting so you can tell it how large 1 Blender unit is supposed to be. Nice plugin, wish I'd known about it a year ago :) The scale can influence lighting, especially if you’re using a physically based renderer like Luxrender.

I use Blender at my job, I make architectural and design visualisations, and I often need to measure some distances and provide some dimensions. It works fine. It is very useful for me.
