Measuring slab Perimeter

Anonymous
Not applicable
Did a search and surprisingly nothing though I thought this was covered before. But anyway, does anybody know if it's possible to measure a slab perimeter (or a couple of walls for that matter)? I tried the zone tool hoping (remembering something), but still nothing.

Ideas would be greatly appreciated (another job left for the very last minute).

WoW... THANKS!!!

It only works for slabs right? Why not fills also? It'd be easier... but at least it works. Thanks again.

I meant that it doesn't give you the perimeter of fills.

Thanks again for the help guys. I'd heard about this... "window", but I dodn't use it much (or at all) and lost it...

Sure it does (the Element Information that is).
Its just called "Circumference" rather than "Perimeter".
