A folding rule, inside markings, can do many things:

1) partly unfolded it will lay flat on a surface and easily measure distance from a corner;

2) draw lines parallel to an edge by folding into the shape of a "4" with the needed distance sticking out. slide the horizontal of the "4" along the edge, holding a pencil against the end (I drill a small hole at the 1/2" mark to make it easier to control the pencil - just stick an extra 1/2" out when setting up);

3) measure to points you cannot reach, because the folding rule will stay straight, whereas a tape will bend beyond a certain distance;

4) fold 2 segments around an angle and then carry it to your work surface to use that angle;

5) take an inside measurement by pushing against one side and marking, say, 20", the push against the other side and note the distance to the mark (and add the 20)

Because of its stiffness a folding rule is better than a cloth or steel tape for measuring?

A folding rule provides better accuracy and precision when measuring due to its stiffness, which helps maintain a straight and consistent measurement. In contrast, cloth or steel tapes are prone to bending or stretching, leading to less accurate measurements. The rigidity of a folding rule also enables it to be used for longer measurements without the need for additional support or reinforcement.
