measuring in softimage ---

I found out a neat trick today.







to measure in softimage its as easy as;

getting two nulls, putting a distance constraint on one to the other,(press shift s {softimage interaction model}) open the camera visability options, turn on relations info... to change the distance with the transforms you need to press CnsComp (constraint compensation) and, obviously, you can snap the null although snapping is a bit awkward because you can only snap the null that has been constrained to.

I am using cm as the units because its base 10 and Si seems to have its measurements in base 10. Its easy enough, though, to get a conversion @ google: "inches to cm"
groooovy.
