Measurements

Watch tutorial video: Measurements.


Measurements can be performed in Cintoo in 3D View in either Scan&Teleport mode or 3D Navi mode.


Measurements cannot be made in 2D Panoramic display mode. It must be one of 3D display modes. Once a measurement has been created, it can be viewed in 2D Panoramic mode as well.


See steps below to use Measurements tool:


1. Click on Measurements icon on the sidebar.

2. It's recommended to use Scan&Teleport Mode with 3D Surface display mode to pick the right points and make the most accurate measurements. 



3. Click Add Measurement button, several options are available: Freehand, OrthoX, OrthoY, OrthoZ, Disto. Choose the one that fits the needs.


4. Freehand allows to measure distance between two pick-points in any direction or axis.


5. Ortho X locks measurement tool in the X-axis and allows to take a straight-line measurement in 
X-axis direction.


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


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

 

8. Disto allows to take a straight-line measurement that is perpendicular to the surface where the starting pick-point was selected.


9. Once measurement is taken click Save Measurement button to save it to Measurements list.


Measurements include: Length, Height, Width, Angle (from horizontal plane), and measurement along the X, Z and Z axis.


Measurements are saved with the context, so each time opening a measurement changes the appearance of 3D View to the exactly same camera position and display mode at the moment of taking a measurement.


10. Measurements could be exported in a PDF report:

  • Go to Report tab and in Activities select Measurements to be listed in the report. Generate a PDF by clicking Export PDF, which is downloads the file locally.

  • Each item title of the PDF report is clickable, displaying corresponding Measurement in Cintoo.

  • Measurements could be accessed from Report tab by clicking on a measurement then on 3D View button to open a corresponding 3D View.
