Automatic Measurements In Blueprint View? - atittle - 06-20-2016
On the FrameForge Home Page there’s a grahic labeled FrameForge Previz Studio’s Data-Rich Storyboards. The second text box on the left reads as follows:
Quote:Blueprint View can also contain automatic measurements in either meters or feet along with optional movement arrows.
I know I can add movement arrows to Blueprint Views in Shot Manager, but I have no idea what these “automatic measurements in either meters or feet†are.
Please explain how to initiate or enable this feature, and what makes it “automatic�
Thank you.

If you look at the screen shot next to the text, you'll see a ruler in the blueprint. I think that's what it's talking about. One way of putting a ruler in place is to use the distance measurement function (the D button next to the object move throttle) and press certain letter keys while the measurement is showing, e.g, "d" for a diagonal measurement. I suppose that the "automatic" refers to the ease of putting a ruler in.

Hello, James. Thanks for your very quick reply!
When I saw that text box on the FrameForge Home Page, I wondered if it might be referring to the "D" (Distance) button or to ruler objects. But the "automatic" aspect of the measurements threw me. I thought there might be an existing feature I somehow had never come across.
Thanks for the clarification!
