Turns out that there is a web site that will allow you to measure STL files.  You drop the file onto the site and click Measure It Now, after which you can either rotate the model around (by dragging) or if you click two points, it will tell you the distance between the points.  Not sure how often I will use it, but others might want to https://products.aspose.app/3d/measurement/stl Jon

I found a bunch of command line tools for measuring and manipulating STL files, which may be useful to people. I added some missing functionality to the project, as it originally only supported binary STL, so I added in support for converting between binary and ascii, as well as a simple utility for centring an stl (either at 0, 0, 0 or at 0, 0, bottom face zero) https://github.com/AllwineDesigns/stl_cmd.git On Wed, 2 Feb 2022, 20:10 jon, <jon@jonbondy.com> wrote: > Turns out that there is a web site that will allow you to measure STL > files.
