Shows a map-style scale bar over the Blender viewport for quick size estimates.

What Viewport Scale Bar does

Viewport Scale Bar is a Blender plugin by Renee-13 that shows a cartographic scale bar over the 3D viewport. In orthographic views it gives a fast sense of how large an object is, without reaching for the measurement tool or adding annotations.

The bar is hidden in perspective view, where no single scale applies. Its position can be set, for example top-center or bottom-center, and the scale length can be adjusted. It is a lightweight aid for modelers and designers who want to sanity-check dimensions while working.

Key features

  • 2D scale bar overlay in the viewport
  • Active in orthographic views
  • Hidden in perspective where scale varies
  • Selectable position such as top or bottom center
