Point Measurement

In Version 5.6.0 we’ve introduced the ability to measure distances.

To view other forms of measurement, please visit our pages on:

• Distance Measurement
• Area Measurement

Note: In Version 5.42.0 we brought a refreshed look and feel to the Measurement Panel, along with several functionality enhancements. This page has been updated to reflect the update.

Save Measurement

‍Once the point is defined, the Edit Measurement Panel (3) will appear. Here you can:

• Save the measurement for future reference.
• Control visibility: Set it as private (visible only to you) or public (shared with other users).
• Customize details: Add or edit the name and description.
• Link to Tags or Tasks for improved organization.
• Search and navigate: Locate any measurement in the project and jump to it.

Additionally, if available, the real-world coordinate values (XYZ) the point will be displayed in the Edit panel.

Editing Point Measurements

You can easily adjust the position of the selected point to refine your work. Here’s how:

1. Click on the point.
2. A temporary drag handle will appear.
3. Click and drag this point to a new location (or drag the handles to snap to the plan XY).
4. The point coordinates will be updated in real time.

Note: The Z value will be the common elevation of the selected plan.

These tools make it simple to adjust your measurements as your project evolves.
