Measure, annotate and dimension in the Unreal Editor

Get it on Fab (opens in a new tab)Documentation

Eight measuring and annotation tools that live in your level and show up in your renders. Check a stair rise, dimension a room, mark a camera's view or read the speed of a moving actor, without leaving the viewport.

Made for architecture and archviz, level design, product visualisation, techvis and previs.

What you get

  • Measure: the distance between two points, with extension lines, ruler ticks and X, Y and Z legs.
  • Path: a length along many points, or an area when closed, with each segment labelled.
  • Mark: height markers and a real-size 1.8 m person for scale.
  • Text: notes in the world that can show another tool's live reading.
  • Speedometer: the live speed of a moving actor, or its distance, peak, average, acceleration or angular speed.
  • Angle: the angle between two arms, with snapping increments.
  • Camera Frustum: what a camera sees, with its lens and sensor on cine cameras.
  • Grid: a measured grid with numbered lines.
  • Tool Presets: Scale Figure, Level Mark, Note, Scale Bar, Action Line, Dimension String and Room Area.
  • Snapping to vertices, edge midpoints, edges, surfaces, the editor grid and the points of other tools.
  • Units: mm, cm, m, km, in, ft, yd and ft-in.
  • Display Manager: choose which tools each viewport and camera shows.
  • Attach tools to actors, sockets or bones; key most values in Sequencer.

Good to know

  • Unreal Engine 5.8, Windows. Delivered as a plugin.
  • Tools appear in Play, Simulate, Game View and Movie Render Queue renders, labels included.
  • Tools are editor-only actors, so they never end up in a packaged game.
  • Uses Epic's Level Sequence Editor plugin, which comes with Unreal Engine. No third-party software.

FAQ

Does it work for architectural presentations?

Yes. Use the Dimension String and Room Area presets, architectural tick end shapes, and units including ft-in. Measures and labels appear in Movie Render Queue renders, so they can go straight into client stills and walkthroughs.
