Good news !
I will need the tool only when I build harbours. If you didn't know, harbours in SH3 are built with standard portions contained in the Library folder. A harbour file contains only positions and references for these standard portions. So, to create a new harbour, I need to import these portions in a .dat file, move them to the right position, and measure distances. Then, I get the absolute positions of each element, and I can remove all 3D models, letting only the placements (positions + parent IDs references).

This is the most accurate measuring method and the most practical, unless you want to measure distances directly in game.

I won't need Wings to create harbours, at least not to place the elements. But perhaps I will need to create new elements ?

Yes sure :

Flight simulator IIRC.

According to my comparison, it's not the case unfortunately. The island is two time bigger as the real one, and Düne is misplaced + wrong shape/size.

About lighthouses that I would like to add, lots of pretty models here
