Would like to request a tool to set the dimensions of the grid along with a ruler to measure distance between objects.

I often use Miro as a VTT replacement for board and tabletop games and a measurement tool would be extremely useful.

MeasureMint App

Hi @Andrew O'Brien, 

For anyone landing here looking for a ruler or grid measurement tool in Miro (whether for design mockups, floor plans, or virtual tabletop / grid maps):

We built an approved Miro Marketplace app called MeasureMint that brings a full ruler and scale system directly onto your canvas:

  • 📏 Ruler Tool: Click and drag to measure distances between objects, tokens, or walls with real-time measurement lines and clean distance tags.
  • 📐 Custom Grid & Scale Calibration: Calibrate your scale in seconds—set 1 grid square or reference object to equal 5 ft, 1 meter, or any custom scale.
  • 🔄 Imperial & Metric Support: Instantly measures in feet, inches, meters, centimeters, and millimeters.
  • ⚡ Live Collaborative Canvas: All measurements and distance markers remain visible on the board for everyone collaborating in real time.

You can install it free directly from the Miro Marketplace:
👉 MeasureMint on the Miro Marketplace

Hope this saves you time measuring ranges and layouts! Feel free to reply if you have any feedback or specific distance tools you'd like to see added.
