This feature was already suggested twice, so I'll just quote the last post: morikahn said: We need an easy way to measure the area of an effect. Add a simple drop down sub-menu to the ruler tool so we can pick some of the common shapes used in RPGs:,cones, circles, cubes, and wide beams.&nbsp; Squares and Circles would have their center as the origin. Yes, this can be done via drawing shapes in the game and moving them about, but its not easy nor dynamic, and can get messy with lots of tokens on the map.&nbsp; This feature was requested 7 months ago, here:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3459429/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3459429/slug%7D</a> , but it got no response.. which I find really odd as this should be a basic functional in the game.

Unless it is part of something in current development, suggestions don't usually get dev comment until 200 votes.&nbsp; The sticky thread at the top of the forum explains something of how suggestions work and a link to a wiki page for more info. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1280734/read-first-posting-to-suggestions-and-ideas-updated-02-slash-15-slash-19" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1280734/read-first-posting-to-suggestions-and-ideas-updated-02-slash-15-slash-19</a>
this would be a great feature....I have yet to find spell templates that work right.&nbsp; +1
This really needs to be a core feature.&nbsp;
Live on Foundry. Casting a spell place the right template, so simple. I don't wait for new feature in Roll20 that will never come.

Hey folks, Sorry for my delayed response here. We have started work on a new measure tool that will include area of effect shapes. We hope to have something out in the next week or so to try out. It won't be all the shapes you're going to need but it is the first step to redesigning the tool. We hope to have more releasing to follow as we get them done. I'll keep you all posted here.
Shouldn't this be closed by now?
