To measure the distance between two points, proceed, alternatively, as follows:
The two points must belong to the same face.
A dialog will pop up. Fill in, if necessary, the points, assign a unique variable and click OK. A record will appear on the notepad, as below:
myDistance = |AB| : MyCube
where myDistance is the variable assigned to the distance between points A and B in figure MyCube. If MyCube is currently the only figure, the record will read:
myDistance = |AB|
This action can be undone.

To measure an angle, proceed, alternatively, as follows:
The segments that make the angle must belong to the same face and not be collinear.
A dialog will pop up. Fill in, if necessary, the points, assign a unique variable and click OK. A record will appear on the notepad, as below:
myAngle = <ABC : MyPyramid
where myAngle is the variable assigned to the angle between AB and AC in figure MyPyramid. If MyPyramid is currently the only figure, the record will read:
myAngle = <ABC
All angles are expressed in radians.
This action can be undone.

To measure the area of a face proceed, alternatively, as follows:
A dialog will pop up. Select, if necessary, the face from the list, assign a unique variable and click OK. A record will appear on the notepad, as below:
myArea = area[ABC] : MyCube
where myArea is the variable assigned to the area of the face that contains vertices A, B, C in figure MyCube. If MyCube is currently the only figure, the record will read:
myArea = area[ABC]
This action can be undone.

To measure the volume of a figure proceed, alternatively, as follows:
A dialog will pop up. Assign a unique variable and click OK. A record will appear on the notepad, as below:
myVolume = volume : MyCube
where myVolume is the variable assigned to the volume of figure MyCube. If MyCube is currently the only figure, the record will read:
myVolume = volume
This action can be undone.
