Hey gang, in the attached video, you see two highlighted elements: one floating on its own is the sketch shape, the other is the sketched shape projected onto my main object (the helmet).

Is there a way I can get the “length” dimensions of this flat projected sketch on the helmet?

The sketched part projected onto the helmet is essentially a spot for the brand to sew their logo patch into the helmet, but I’m not quite sure how or even if I can pull the rough length dimension from it, as that specific dimension of this elements seems to be the most distorted / have the largest degree of change from the projected sketch.

I need to mockup a patch design inside of a separate program, so eyeballing these dimensions is a little awkward to do here. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Hey,  
You can get the length of the edges with the [Measurements](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/7874465678236-Measurements) tool. Just select the edges and the sum length will be shown.
