Measuring Sticks

For me it is good practice to use a simple box as a height marker when using 3DS MAX. Especially in this cave system where the walls go in and out and where the ceiling is uneven. Using a box with a certain height or width as a template i can then build and also deforn the walls to the required specification, once used these can be thrown away and deleted.

Below you can see them in action, the purple boxes have a specific height and thus the model that i'm applying the height to can be mesured to these. If there are a few measurements in the scene then it is best to state the height when naming the measuring stick (box).

Measuring Sticks...I'm all for it!
