miauu's Live Measure Pro provides several options for measuring various aspects of your scene - distances, areas, lengths, angles, sizes, axis difference, volumes, radius, diameter, slopes.
- Each measurement can be controlled separately.
- Export all measurements as a .txt file.
- Add custom notes to each measurement.
- Display custom text in the viewport for each measurement.
- Manual update or update in real time.
- User defined colors and captions for the measurements.
- Color coded.
- The measurements are always facing the viewport/camera.
- Can keep track of your dimensions.
- Save and Load all measurements with your scene. This will saves you time and the time of your colleagues.
- Fully functional mini UI.
- Resizable UI
- Change font size

- FIXED: error when Angle between faces are updated.
v. 2.6
+ NEW: New measurements added - distance between two selected vertices.
+ NEW: New measurements added - distance between the centers of the two selected edges.
+ NEW: New measurements added - distance between the centers of the two selected faces.
v. 2.5
- FIXED: the length of the selected spline segement is not updated in real time.
v. 2.4
+ NEW: the whole length of selected line can be measured by pressing the [Measure Length/Area] button(the first button from let to right in the UI) with middle mouse button.
- FIXED: error when the [Update] button is pressed and the length of spline have to be updated.
- FIXED: error in 3ds max 2019.1 that prevents the script to run.
v. 2.3
+ NEW: Added in 3ds Max 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 the Area and Volume will be shown as "m2" for square meter and "m3" for cubic meter.
+ NEW: Added "copy to clipboard" - performing Ctrl+click over the measurement in the UI will copy only the numerical part of the measured value in the clipboard.
v. 2.2
+ NEW: Added support for 3ds Max 2019
v. 2.1
+ NEW: Added Write to User Defined Properties.

+ NEW: Added support for 3ds Max 2018
v. 1.9
+ NEW: Added Display custom text for each measurement in the viewport.
v. 1.8
+ NEW: Measure the area and volume as mm2, cm2, m2 or mm3, cm3, m3. Measure the total area of the selected object in object level. To do it press the Length/Area button with Middle mouse button.
- FIXED: when the group is selected and the Size is measured the script will measure the size of the whole group. To measure the size of the objects - open the group and select the desired object. If the open group is selected the script will measure its size.
When the group is selected and the Volume is measured the script will measure the volume of each object individually, so be careful when the group contains hundreds of objects.
v. 1.7
+ NEW: Added ability to measure the size and the volume of many object at once.
v. 1.6
+ NEW: Added ability to add custom notes to each measurement.

This letter is thank you for your LiveMeasurePro, today I use it in my office work for production to create a very very difficult large outdoor setup, I use it to make a tech-draw to offer dimension to client, I only can finish the job by this plugin, it save my life in office, the tools is super crazy powerful.
