I've been trying to modell with some accuracy using Blender 2.8 using the Edge Length under Viewport Overlays > Measurements. However I've noticed that the measurement is not always accurate or at least when I use the MeasureIt addon the Edge length is different to the MeasureIt output.

This is with the same edge selected but two different measurements.

Edge Length: outputs 1.95cm

Edge Length

MeasureIt: outputs 1.0cm

MeasureIt Addon

Am I doing something wrong with Blender's edge length..?

Check if object scale is applied (Object mode > Ctrl+A to apply) – Mr Zak May 26 '19 at 16:03
Doh! Totally forgot.... That did it! – breathee May 26 '19 at 16:10
I forgot about 'Apply''ing my objects data after I started changing it in edit mode. – breathee May 26 '19 at 16:29
