text boxes underneath the buttons, as are the Difference and the absolute Distance. If an accumulative
measure is being used, such as Point Line or Accumulate, Distance will show the accumulated
distance for all points registered in the measurement. All these measurements are shown in scene units.
All points will be represented in the main navigation window with a small cross, and all lines being
measured, by a simple line between points. You can use the Measure Options to choose how these are
displayed.
Note:
It goes without saying that you must click on a point on an item to register a point - clicking on the
background will not register anything, but it is worth noting that you can snap to certain points on
items - see “Snapping” for more details.
You can reset a measure command at any time by right clicking instead of left clicking in the main
navigation window. This will start the measure command again with no points registered, just as if
you had chosen a new measurement type.
Measuring between points on items:
1. Ensure the Measure Tools control bar is displayed as outlined above.
2. Click the icon with the desired option to start measuring geometry objects:
• To simply measure the distance between two points, choose the Point to Point measurement
type on the Measure Tools control bar and click on the start point and then the end point
with the left mouse button.
• To lock the start point and then click on multiple different end points, choose the Point to
Multiple Points measurement type on the Measure Tools control bar and click on the start
point. Every other click after the start point will then register a new end point, but you can right
click to reselect a start point.
• To measure the distance along a path or route, choose the Point Line measurement type
on the Measure Tools control bar and simply click on a series of points along the path. The
Distance will display the total distance along the path from the start point. Right clicking will
enable you to select a new start point.
• To calculate the sum total of several point-to-point measurements, choose the Accumulate
measurement type on the Measure Tools control bar and click on start and end points
alternately. The Distance will show the sum of all point-to-point measurements since the first start
point. Right clicking will enable you to reset the distance to zero and restart the calculation.
• To calculate an angle between two lines, choose the Measure Angle measurement type on
the Measure Tools control bar and click on a point on the first line, followed by the intersection of
the two lines, followed by a point on the second line. The Angle will show the angle between the
three points. Right clicking will enable you to select a new first point.
• To calculate an area on a plane, choose the Measure Area measurement type on the
