Measure and Scale stands out in the blender_extensions library for doing one focused job: turning a vertex-to-vertex distance into a uniform object scale. It's a compact add-on at around 9.5 KB and sits at rank 70 on blender_extensions.
Measure and Scale is a Blender add-on from Belaid-ZIANE for measuring between two vertices and uniformly scaling an object to match that measurement. It works inside the 3D Viewport, accessible from the Sidebar (N-Panel) under the Item tab.
The workflow is straightforward: select a vertex on your mesh to start measuring, then hover over and snap to a second vertex to see the live distance between the two points. Left-click the second vertex to confirm, or right-click at any time to cancel. Once confirmed, a dialog box shows the measured distance and lets you enter the dimension you want that segment to be. The entire object is then uniformly scaled to match your target, with the scale automatically applied.
It supports Metric units (m, cm, mm) and Imperial units (ft, in). Compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, it earns its place in the blender_extensions library as a compact, single-purpose tool released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
Measure and Scale is best for modeling tasks where an object needs to be uniformly scaled to a target dimension measured between two vertices.
Measure and Scale is completely free to download and use.
Measure and Scale is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so current Blender releases can run it. The add-on lives in the 3D Viewport under the Sidebar (N-Panel) in the Item tab, where its panel appears once installed. It's a small extension at around 9.5 KB and requires no special permissions. If you're on a Blender build older than 4.2, you'd need to update Blender first before the add-on will work as described.
Measure and Scale supports both Metric and Imperial units. On the metric side it handles meters, centimeters and millimeters (m, cm, mm), and on the imperial side it handles feet and inches (ft, in). After you measure the distance between two vertices, a dialog box shows that distance and lets you enter the target dimension. The entire object is then uniformly scaled to match, with the scale automatically applied.
Measure and Scale installs like other Blender extensions: drag and drop the add-on into Blender, or download it and install from disk. Once enabled, open the 3D Viewport, bring up the Sidebar with the N key, and look under the Item tab for the Measure and Scale panel. From there you select a first vertex, snap to a second to read the live distance, left-click to confirm, then enter your target dimension in the dialog.
Measure and Scale is listed here as free. It's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and requires no special permissions to run. For current licensing terms and any distribution details, check the developer's page. The add-on is credited to Belaid-ZIANE and is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. Its job is to measure the distance between two vertices and uniformly scale the whole object to a dimension you enter, and it downloads at about 9.5 KB.
Measure and Scale version 1.1.6 is an interactive scaling bug fix. Per the developer's notes, it resolves an issue where interactive scaling operations were unexpectedly cancelled during user interaction. This is the version currently listed, and it keeps the core measure-then-scale workflow intact: select a vertex, snap to a second to see the live distance, confirm, then enter the dimension you want the object scaled to.
