Often, the ruler is useless for measuring short distances and sometimes it doesn't even show up over some spline objects. It can't take vertical measurements either.
Use assets themselves as 'yardsticks'.
Use a consist of train cars to space yard light towers along the track evenly.
Use wooden boxes, barrels and crates and the metal bands on them as rulers to space light posts from the white safety line along passenger station platforms along the track. Position your camera directly overhead for the best view.
Use your mouse pointer arrow as a very short ruler too as for evenly spacing fences from the edges of concrete slabs.
Count the crisscross lines in brick spine surfaces or sidewalks for positioning objects on them. Fence posts in fences make good rulers.
The white line spline is also a good tool for positioning things straight in a row as is a chain link fence like I used to get my benches lined up on my station platform. Delete the line when you are done with it.
