Research (Measuring distances in Maya)

This research has taught me how to find out the distance between objects in Maya.

First of all, i experimented with create>measure tools>distance tool.





Now, i create two cubes side by side to each other. 


With the cubes created, i now use the create distance tool again. 
But first, i have to switch to Animation menu set.
Now, i have to shift select the cube first then followed by one of the connectors. With the two selected, i now go to constrain>point. Then, i repeat this step for the other cube.




And this is the result.


This research has taught me how to measure the distance. Although currently i feel that it has no use to me, i believe that in the future i will be able to apply this knowledge whether it be modelling or animation.
