Multi-Segment Measurement

You can measure a path with multiple segments by clicking to place waypoints. Each click adds a new point, and the total distance across all segments is shown.

This is useful for measuring movement around corners or along winding paths.

Press Escape, Right Click, or Alt+Click to clear the waypoints.
