Maya - Quick Measure Tool

I was recently commissioned to create this tool for Maya that automates the steps involved with creating distance visualizers! Before you had to create the visualizer, move the points where you want them, and then put them in a group. This tool automatically creates and sets up these visualization points. You can either create a standalone distance visualization or you can have it show the distance between objects or individual vertices. It has options for using the bounding box center or the world/local positions.
