Launch a ray through the model and measure lengths of segments where the ray
        intersects the model surface.
        
        - 
                In the main window toolbar, click the 
                    (Measurements) icon.
             
- 
                In the dialog, click the Ray probe tab.
            
 
- Optional: 
                Orient the model so the desired ray direction is normal to the screen.
            
 
- 
                Specify the Ray direction.
            
 
- 
                In the modeling window, pick a point on the
                    model.
                
The dialog box displays the list of segments where the ray intersects
                    the model surface, as well as their lengths.
             
- Optional: 
                Select two segments from the list to show the distance between the
                    segments.
