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.
