3D Measurements

3D Measurements can be performed in Cintoo Cloud in the 3D View in either Scan Mode or 3D Navigation mode.
- Measurements cannot be made in the 2D Panoramic display mode. You must be in one of the 3D display modes.
- We recommend using Scan Mode with the 3D Surface display mode to pick the right points and make the most accurate measurements.
- Once the measurement has been created, it can be viewed in the 2D Panoramic mode as well.
Click on the ‘Measurement’ tool in the vertical tool bar on the left side of the screen. Any measurement created in the same workzone will open in the window.
Select a specific measurement tool by clicking the down arrow:
Freehand allows you to measure the distance between two pick-points in any direction or axis:
Ortho X locks the measurement tool in the X-axis and allows you to take a straight-line measurement in the X-axis direction:

Ortho Y locks the measurement tool in the Y-axis and allows you to take a straight-line measurement in the Y-axis direction:

Ortho Z locks the measurement tool in the Z-axis and allows you to take a straight-line measurement in the Z-axis direction:

Disto allows you to take a straight-line measurement that is perpendicular to the surface in which you select the starting pick-point:

Once a specific measurement tool has been selected, Click on ‘+ ADD MEASUREMENT’
3D measurement is then performed in the 3D View with information updated in real time:
3D Measurements include: Length, Height, Width, Angle (from horizontal plane), and measurement along the X, Z and Z axis.
3D Measurements are saved with the context (camera position, display mode). For example, in 3D RGB mode:
3D Measurements can be exported in a PDF Report.
- Go to the REPORT tab of your project and select the ‘Activities’ that you want to be listed in the report:
- The PDF is generated when clicking on ‘Export as PDF’ and downloaded right away on your computer.
- Each item title of your PDF report is clickable, allowing to display the corresponding activity in Cintoo Cloud:
3D measurements can also be viewed within the report tab by clicking on the measurement and selecting the blue play 3D button.
