Measuring Morph

Working on an irregular morph object. In order to build it at the workshop i need to create measured plan views o each face of the morph. Wich is the best way to do this?

• go to 3D View
• Use Look To Perpendicular Command and click on Face
• Right Click and select "New 3D Document"
• Dimension on 3D Doc Window

----
It might be easier to "explode" the Morph so that you have individual faces/

Eduardo Thanks for your advise. Tried what you suggested and it worked perfectly until de measuring part, the Dimension tool is not working properly on the 3D Document created, i can't get it to be aligned with the measured face of the Morph

Then create a New Detail using the detail tool (or you can use Worksheet too) based on the 3D Doc and dimension there it should be easier. Also always verify that the actual dimensions for the detail and what is measured in the Morph match.

Eduardo, Thanks again, with the Detail tool worked perfectly.
I found another way wich is creating a Fill using the magic wand on the 3D document image and then Copy/pasting it on the floor plan view. This way i can manage all the pieces to measure then and even create a DXF file to send to the CNC plotter.
