OpenSCAD

The GUI just got some basic measurement tools for distances and angles.

For now, this needs the Manifold geometry engine enabled (see Preference -> Features) and a full mesh render (F6).

Have a look at the youtube video which gives a quick introduction.

@OpenSCAD I'm curious: Is there a plan to make Manifold on by default in the next stable release? I keep posting in various places how to enable the Manifold kernel. 😀

@mcdanlj @OpenSCAD you guys are talking about development snapshots? As far as I can see, the last stable version is from 2021 😵‍💫

@tinx @OpenSCAD The Manifold kernel is currently available only in development versions, and my question was about expectations for the next stable version.

@mcdanlj @OpenSCAD thank you for the clarification. Can we expect a new stable release soon?

@OpenSCAD which version introduces the new measurement feature?
