SCO EdgeWise
SCO EdgeWise add-on for Blender - is a precision measurement tool designed for use in Edit Mode. It allows users to measure distances, edge lengths, and angles directly in the 3D View, leveraging the active unit system (Metric or Imperial). The add-on includes features to measure distances between vertices, lengths of edges or contiguous edge groups, and angles between edges. Additionally, it provides a unique functionality to calculate offset distances along specific axes (X, Y, Z) relative to the 3D Cursor, displaying results clearly in the UI. This tool is found in the Item Tab while in Edit Mode and is ideal for modeling tasks requiring accurate dimensional feedback.
SCO EdgeWise (Measurements in Edit Mode)
- Measure distances between two vertices
- Measure lengths of individual edges or contiguous edge groups
- Measure angles between two selected edges
- Calculate distances offset from 3D Cursor along X, Y, or Z axis to single vertex
- Automatically adapts to active scene measurement system (Metric or Imperial)
- Automatically adapts to active scene scale
- Automatically adapts to active scene unit system (m, cm, mm, ft, in)
- Automatically adapts to scaled objects
- Displays results in an easily accessible UI panel
- Works seamlessly in Blender’s Edit Mode for mesh objects
What's New
2.0.6 May 25th, 2026
Added New Functionality:
SCO EdgeWise (Precision Measurements in Edit Mode)
• Dynamically increases decimal precision for very small measurements, so tiny edges no longer display as 0.00 m
• Correctly reports small metric lengths such as 0.0027 m instead of rounding them to misleading values like 0.01 m
• Improves compatibility with Blender 5.1 by removing the restrictive maximum Blender version from the extension manifest
• Packages the extension with Blender's official extension builder format, ensuring blender_manifest.toml is correctly placed for installation
• Improves unit handling for Blender's adaptive and smaller length-unit settings across edge, vertex, and 3D cursor distance measurements
Excellent plugin! I work in the metric system but calibrate the dimensions in mm with a scale of 0.001 In a cube that is 2 mm in size, the plugin shows me a size of 2 meters. In other words, the plugin does not take into account all the settings of the scene and does not use the dimensions that are defined there, even though numerically, the result is completely correct.
I select an Edge that is exactly 0.0027 m. I see that if I move on vertex onto the other. I see that if I check the length in Edit > Mesh Tools > Set Edge Length. But your EdgeWise addon when I mesure the edge it gives me: 0.01 m.. ? So I can't set the length from Item > EdgeWise. I can only measure 1 by 1 and the measure is wrong. Not sure what's the use then :/
