2.13.1 The “Measure - Vertical distance” tool in Tekla Structures
This tool exercises measurements strictly along with vertical lines taking
into account the coordinates of the global reference system, with no factoring
in the coordinates of the workplane area.
The algorithm for using the “Measure - Vertical distance”
Make sure all operations are canceled or press the Esc key.
Go to the view plane by pressing the Ctrl+P key combination.
