Measuring things **UPDATED**
  
MT-01.jpg - width=600 height=450
MT-03.jpg - width=600 height=450
MT-02.jpg - width=600 height=450
So what is it? Things to measure other things in the game consisting of:
One measuring pole, 30 Blender/Milkshape units high - created from the Country Kitch column, but taller, with graduated markings (under columns in Build)
3 floor tiles, 1 'horizontal' and 1 'vertical', 10 Blender/Milkshape units, graduated markings and one tile for assistance centering things on a tile with 'snaptogrid' off (all under Floors, Linoleum, in Build)
Instructions: The layout of the H-tile and V-tile is obvious. For the pole to be usefully accurate to intersect surfaces or an object or for your object to line up in the measuring corner, you must have snapobjectstogrid false and moveobjects on.
Jan 29 - Updated the measuring pole. It's much easier to read and is more accurate by 2 whole pixels

Feb 4 - Corrected a glaringly obvious fault in the floor tiles
This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.
