There is a vertical measureing gauge, as well as a height template ruler on the DLS.
I am always applying math to figure out heights and elevations in Trainz, and I type in heights and elevations, dozens of times per day.

When you do adjustments to a spline or object, it shows the height of the particular object. How accurate it is.. don't know, but I use it all the time: Example: how high is a mountain? just place the object on top and take the reading.. That is from sea level or from the original base of your map.

The ruler is called "Vertical Ruler", built-in. It's very simple, works beautifully and I find it indispensable.

Built into what version? I'm not seeing anything in TS2009 or the DLS.

Do you know what the exact name or kuid of that vertical measuring gauge is? I've searched the DLS and can't fine anything.

Really? My mistake, sorry about that. Vertical Ruler,<kuid:523:1470>

But the link in Post #7 will get you all kinds of rulers.

I see what's available for measuring meters. I was looking for something in feet. I guess I can always do a feet to meters conversion.
