Click-to-measure ruler and protractor tools for Kitten Space Agency.

Features

• Ruler - click two points in the map view to measure the straight-line distance. Snaps to bodies, to body surfaces (the edge of a planet's disc), and to points on orbit lines; clicks on empty space place free points.
• Protractor - click three points (arm, apex, arm) to read the true 3D angle plus both arm lengths, e.g. the phase angle between two planets around their star.
• Surface - pin two points to a planet's surface for the great-circle distance, chord, and initial bearing; pins track the body's rotation like ground markers.
• Live preview with snap highlighting, hover-sync between the list and the map, and click-to-copy values.

Planned: measuring in the vehicle editor, waiting for the upcoming editor rework.

Usage

In the map view, open View -> Measure, pick a tool (Ruler, Protractor, Surface) and click in the map to place points.

Free clicks that snap to nothing land on the camera-facing plane.
