How do I check if something is even?

[Retro Dino]

I want to make sure that a sector in the middle of a sector is even with both sides, is there a tool that does that? I've been manually counting the lines from one sector to another, and it can be time consuming.

When you draw a line it should tell you how long it is, no?

No, there is no such tool.

But, if you think about it, you could move that sector in the middle around until the linedef center nibs line up, horizontally and vertically, with the larger sector.

 

 

If so required, adjust the grid size.

Yeah but if i put a box in the middle it doesn't tell me how far it is from the line def on the outside.

So when you want to measure, you start drawing lines between the box and the side.

Draw a linedef from one corner of the middle sector perpendicular to the outside linedef.

I'm so stupid -_- IDK why i never thought about that wtf. How do you draw a line dev starting from another line dev? I can't do that it would just select the line, i assume there's a shortcut i don't know of.

I don't remember what the default key binding is.
