Question
Is there a way to get distance between two objects in meters?
I'm trying this right now
units.displayType =#metric
myDistance = distance aObject1 aObject2
label1.text = distance as string
Of course this is giving me the distance between those objects but in units of 3dsmax...
So if anyone knows a way or a formula i will be really grateful thank you
Solution
There is a whole topic in maxscript help dedicated to this, Units Struct - Accessing System and Display Units
The piece of code you need would look like this:
label1.text = units.formatValue myDistance
