==Extents Tool==
ICON: [[File:Extends_tool_tn.png]]
MENU: '''Tools → Measure → Extents'''
KEYBOARD SHORTCUT: '''Shift+E'''
FUNCTION: Measures the length, surface area or volume of a geometric object
TO MEASURE THE EXTENTS OF AN OBJECT:
# Activate the '''Extents Tool'''.
# Hover the mouse over any object in the project workspace.
# A dialog pops up at the lower right corner of the screen. If the highlighted object is a curve, the dialog shows its arc length. If the highlighted object is a surface, the dialog shows its area. If the highlighted object is a solid, the dialog shows both its volume and total surface area.
SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: You can compute the extents of several objects successively.
PYTHON COMMAND:
get_length(object)
get_area(object)
get_volume(object)

KEYBOARD SHORTCUT: '''Shift+E'''
FUNCTION: Measures the length, surface area or volume of a geometric object
TO PERFORM GEOMETRIC ANALYSIS AND MEASURE THE EXTENTS OF AN OBJECT:
# Activate the '''Geometric Analysis Tool'''.
# Hover the mouse over any object in the project workspace.
# A dialog pops up at the lower right corner of the screen. If the highlighted object is a curve, the dialog shows its arc length. If the highlighted object is a surface, the dialog shows its area. If the highlighted object is a solid, the dialog shows both its volume and total surface area.
