Measurement Panel

This is where you'll find all tools for taking, editing, and reviewing measurements, along with helpful options and tips to guide you through the process. The options available vary depending on the View Mode that you are in.

When first opened, the panel displays the following information.

In 360 and point cloud views, only measurements that are visible within the selected hotspot range filter are shown.

Saving Measurements

By default, measurements are saved as ‘Private’ meaning only you can see and search for them. They can also be made ‘Public’ if you want other users to be able to see them too. Their status  can be changed at any time and they can be locked so that other users cannot edit them once made public.

Note: Only the user who generated the measurement can change it back to private once it’s been made public.

By default, measurements are given an autogenerated name, which can be edited to personalize them. You can also add a description to explain the purpose of the measurement and help when searching.
