Add angles measurement tool

It would be helpful to add a measurement of angles function to the program especially when dealing with complicated angles and geometry it will help speed up the modeling process and aid in efficiency.

    Hello, honestly both would be beneficial the node one may have more usage but when I was completing mine I would of been able to use both! there was a lot of time wasted trying to determine if I plotted my nodes correctly.

    Thank you for posting this idea. I would suggest you need to add a little more detail on what this offering would do and how it might operate. Are you thinking something along the lines of the Utilities>Node Tools>Node to Node Distance, where three nodes would be selected and the angle between the two lines from N1>N2 and N2>N3? Or are you thinking about selecting members and getting the angle between the member lines reported?
