    9.25---You get this by using a Distance operator and 2 Dummy objects. Just place each dummy on each end of the rope then select each dummy with the operator. The operator will then display the number you want. I would save it to my favorites. Good luck.

    The snap plane doesnt go up to 9.25. So divide by 5 and you get 1.85.

    Whoops! Forgot about that bit. Also if your gonna use physics joints to connect the ropes, be sure your connecting the ends and not the center of the ropes. The ropes have multiple pivots to target.

    baz has some distances worth jotting them down .. the rope was doin my head in . it kept glitching/disappearing as i was snapping . and the big red circle finishing on the edge of the rope wasn't helping . done it now and saved to faves . i dont mind snapping manually but some stuff needs to be precise .this is when the rage starts .
