MeasureIt earns its place for carrying forward measurement tools that once shipped with Blender 4.1, now offered as a standalone extension with a fix for Blender 5.0's API changes.
MeasureIt is an add-on for measuring objects in Blender, created by antoniov (Antonio Vazquez). It groups its measurement tools in the 3D View sidebar, under the View tab.
The add-on was originally part of Blender 4.1's bundled add-ons and is now offered as is, with limited support. It has been downloaded more than 252,000 times and ranks 17 in the Blender extensions library, where it holds a 5.0 rating across 24 reviews.
Version 1.8.4 addresses problems that appeared in Blender 5.0 following changes to the API, and the add-on is listed as compatible with Blender 5.0 and newer. It requires no special permissions and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It's listed here as free; check the developer's page for current licensing details.
MeasureIt is best for blender users who need to measure objects and dimensions directly in the 3D View.
MeasureIt is completely free to download and use.
MeasureIt is listed as compatible with Blender 5.0 and newer. Version 1.8.4 specifically fixes problems that appeared in Blender 5.0 following changes to the API. The add-on was originally part of Blender 4.1's bundled add-ons and is now offered as a standalone extension with limited support. If you're on Blender 5.0 or a later release, install version 1.8.4 to avoid the earlier API-related issues.
MeasureIt places its tools in the 3D View sidebar, under the View tab, reachable via the path View3D → Sidebar → View Tab. After the add-on is enabled, open the sidebar in the 3D viewport and switch to the View tab to find its controls. This is the single location documented for the add-on, so its measurement options live in that panel.
MeasureIt is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and it requires no special permissions. The add-on is listed here as free; for current licensing terms and any details specific to your use, check the developer's page on the Blender extensions site. Its original author is Antonio Vazquez, and antoniov maintains the extension listing. Version 1.8.4 is the current release noted here.
