When you enable the Edge Length option, you will see the numeric value for any edge selected in the 3D Viewport (Location 102)
Hold the SHIFT key to get two points in a straight line Keep the CTRL key pressed to capture key points like vertices and a more precise measurement (Location 108)
Tip: To type different units, you must enter advance mode before using your keyboard. Press the = key before type a length. (Location 135)
To fix that scale and reset your factor to one, we have to apply the transformation. You can apply a scale by either pressing CTRL+A or use the Object → Apply menu. There you will be able to choose between Scale, Rotation, or use them both (Figure 1.19). (Location 191)
As a good practice, you can always press CTRL+A and choose “Rotation & Scale” before starting to add custom properties. (Location 195)
The object origins serve as the reference point for object location and also a pivot point for scales and rotations. (Location 200)
