Measurement Mode

• Used to measure distance, angle, length, and area on the 3D data.
• You can measure the data in its aligned or detached state. 
• Use the "Detach Data" feature to separate the data from each other.

Aligned data

Detached data

 

❏ Toolbox

• Create sections: Used to create section lines.
• View perpendicularly to section line: Used to orient the view perpendicularly to the section line.
• Measure distance by one point: Used to measure the shortest distance to the adjacent 3D data or line.
• Measure distance by two points: Used to measure the distance between two points.
• Measure distance by three points: Used to measure the distance between a point and a line defined by another two points.
• Measure angle by three points: Used to measure the angle between the line made with three points.
• Measure angle by four points: Used to measure the angle between the lines made with four points.
• Measure length by one point: Used to measure the length of the section line by one point.
• Measure length by two points: Used to measure the length of the section line by two points.
• Calculate area by one point: Used to calculate the area of the section line by one point.
• Calculate area by two points: Used to calculate the area of the section line by two points.
• Calculate area by selection: Used to calculate the selected area.
• Delete measurement results: Used to delete measurement results and sections by clicking on each of them.

 

❏ How to use Measurement Mode

• Click "Create Sections" to draw a line at the desired area to create a section. You can add multiple lines.
• The section visibility view can be controlled in the Tree View.

• Use the tools located at the bottom of the window to measure the distance, angle, length, and area of data.
• "View Perpendicularly to Section Line" allows for changing the view. Click on any of the section lines to change the data view perpendicular to them.

 

❏ Measure distance

• You can measure the distance by using one, two or three points.

 

❏ Measure angle

• You can measure the angle by using three or four points.

 

❏ Measure length

• You can measure the length by using one or two points.

 

❏ Measure section area

• You can measure the section area by using one or two points.

 

💡  The Measure Distance and Measure Length tools can also be used without creating sections.

 

❏ Measure Area

• The Measure Area tool allows for measuring the area by selecting the desired portion of the data.
• Select the area of the 3D data to calculate.

• Click "Apply" to measure the selected area.

💡 To remove measurements, click "Delete Measurement Results" and then select any result on the data. You can also click and drag the mouse across all the measurement results to delete them.
