Over the last two weeks we focused on scale. And I’m excited to announce that you can now import models with the correct scale and see the dimensions of a model.
Import Models with Scale
When importing a model into Sketchbox (GLTF, OBJ or FBX) Sketchbox will read the model file, and import the model with whatever units were in the file (mm, cm, m, km, in or ft). Using ‘Model Settings’ you can change the units of any model.
Reset Scale & Position
The absolute size of the model (eg. 3m x 4m x 1m) is displayed in the ‘Model Settings’ panel. ‘Reset Position’ will move the model to the origin. ‘Reset Scale’ will reset the scale of the model (eg. 1x1x1)
Size Indicators
The absolute size of every model is now shown when you resize the model, or when you hover on one of the control points.
Unit Settings for Projects
Every project now has a unit setting, and can be switched between meters and feet.
