This function calculates distance between two model nodes. After clicking in the edit toolbar, the above dialog window will be displayed. To calculate distance, enter the desired node numbers in the corresponding fields or click and select the desired nodes in 3D view.
Conversely, you can select two nodes in the 3D view and click . The selected nodes will be displayed automatically in corresponding fields and distance will be calculated.
