Ahhhhhh. I misunderstood the ‘application folder’ instruction….. I have a folder labeled ‘applications’ with all my Verge apps in it. It’s now working perfectly.
Thank you, kind sir.

You’re welcome. Come again

Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

Hi Kdv!
I’m having an issue with your measure tool, more precisely with the line(s) material which seems incompatible with the material I am using.
The consequence is that the lines are not visible when an object with my material is somewhere behind the measure lines.
When the material has some transparency we can see the lines “through” the material (blue cube in my example), but as soon as there is a mesh with this material in “opaque” configuration the lines disapear (transparency is controlled by the material alpha attribute in my material).
Any idea how I could fix this? Does this have to do with the renderOrder in some manner?
Thanks for your help!
The example is here:

enable DepthTest for materials used to draw lines.

Ok Great! thanks
We loose the “always on top” behaviour but that’s not a big issue for me…
Another quick question: how to increase the scale of the dots and arrows at the lines end??
Thanks!

The same way as for labels. Change scaling factor.

And another one: it seems that there is an issue with multimaterial objects. In the puzzle object selector they are represented with an “empty” icon whereas the monomaterial objects are represented with a standard object icon.
And it seems that the measure tool does not recognize these objects (as they are indeed “parent” object with children geometries attached to them).
How can I add these generated submeshes to the objects to be taken into account for the measure tool?

Ok but there is no option for these line ends as there is for the labels… Do I have to hard code it in the puzzle code??

```
    dimPointOne.onBeforeRender = function() {
      setObjectScale(this, 5);
    };
```

I do not see where to put this code… dimPointOne is only defined within the enableMeasureTool function.

you just need to change 5 to some other value.

Ok Got it thanks!
Also it gave me the opportunity to tune your puzzle block to add a scale option fore these ends. Everything works fine now!

I created a procedure to extract the names (not 3D objects!) of submeshes and add them to the list of measurable objects, and now everything is as expected!

Thanks for the help!
