Measuring Rod.




Lean your rod against a wall or lay it onto a horizontal surface. Use it to get a measure of the sizes of things. It’s also good at marking an axis in space. Select a length and division unit then place into drawings, digital models, renderings, and photographs. Download and use the whole collection.
