I thought there was a measurement tool?

Look on the thread a polygonal riddle or something along those lines. Its on this front page. I think it mentions the tool in there.


*EDIT*

Create>Measure Tools>Distance Tool

There is a measuerment tool. Also. you can set the grid to measuer in feet. But if you want to keep the grid as is, then basicaly figure 1 grid square = 1 foot.

But yeah, there's a measuerment tool you can use to set your measurements more exact. user added image

Maya's default unit scale is 1 unit = 1 cm. You can change the unit settings in the preferences to suit your needs.
