Then, select the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Edge\u00e2\u20ac\u009d icon.  Next, select an edge (line) in your model where you wish to know the dimensions.  The edge length should be reported at the bottom of the screen, where the edge length is reported.  Similarly, by clicking on the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Vertex\u00e2\u20ac\u009d icon, you can get the location of a vertex in your model.  By clicking on the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcFace\u00e2\u20ac\u009d icon, you can get the surface area of a face.
