Ok! This one is a longshot... where can I adjust the code for this measure tool?

Development Programming & Scripting

Dear Friends, sometimes it’s the small things that drive me insane - I am building a simulator for a company, I am almost done and now the client has requested to make this distance tool UI helper more pronounced, no alpha, larger font, thicker line maybe even different color

I thought it was here

Engine/Source/Editor/LevelEditor/Private/LevelEditorViewport.cpp

or here

Engine/Source/Editor/UnrealEd/Private/EditorViewportClient.cpp

I tweaked the code I thought it was and had no luck - wonder in anyone knows what the name of it is and where I can find it? (it’s the 1m (or 100cm) guide line that changes when zooming out in Orthographic view)

thanks

Hi Dingledorf,

Thanks for following up about that.

I want to give you a special welcome to the Forums, anyone who’s editing engine source code like that gets :mage: status in my book.

What function controls that measure tool? (‘DrawScaleUnits’?)

I’m also curious to see what the tool would look like if you can implement those client requests.
