**Solve** : Measurement tab taking up too much useable design space on screen. Increase in productivity.

**Why** : I cast Shapr3D to screens in my shop to build furniture. Seeing current measurements while creating on full screen would vastly improve productivity and ease of use.

**Outcome** : Increase productivity, accuracy and overall ease of use by allowing users to utilize full screen for creating with measurements present in real-time.

**Example** : This is especially problematic when working on 10.9” iPad Pro, please see attached picture. Roughly 2.5” of horizontal screen is unusable space.

Click the X in the upper left corner? Or do you mean re-size vs hide?

I think Brentchula wants to keep the dimensions showing on the model while hiding the panel outlined in red. I think that’d abe a useful feature to be able to hide it or at least resize it, especially on iPad.

Ahhh minimize like a normal window on pc or mac, gotcha. Would indeed be helpful.

Yup! Would like full view of all my measurements and option to minimize/hide measurement tab that pops up. probably an iPad-specific request due to less screen real estate

I agree it would be beneficial to have the measurement window be able to minimize since it’s already displayed. Would be useful for all OS and comport with already pre-existing UX functions.
