What it does

Measuring Stick gives builders visual feedback while they work. It measures the length, area and volume of a region, and highlights the center blocks so placement is easier to judge. Its commands mspos1, mspos2 and msclear set and clear the two corners of a selection, and once a selection is made it can be used with other commands. Outlines can be configured to render through blocks or not.
