measuring distances

[Anonymous]

hi there. i am new to archicad, coming from autocad for what seems like ages! i've taken the basic tutorials, but can't seem to find the answer. how do i measure distances between things in archicad? for example, the distance between the edge of a table and a wall? also, i'm on a mac, so the keyboard is a little different. please help....thanks.

wow! now i feel really ignorant! yeah, got the shift. my alt button says option, and nothing that looks like a sideways two pronged fork. thanks. good thing i'm a better architect than computer whiz! thanks again.

ok - yeah - 'option' is 'ALT' on some earlier keyboards . . . it's basically the alternative key - gives you different options
