Cutting Out a Section of Your Object
You can cut out a section of your object that you do not want included in
the total measurement of the object area. For example, you may want to
measure the surface area of a wall without including the area of windows or
doors. Alternatively, the cutout tool can be used to measure additional areas
on your object.
1 Click on
and then click and
drag to create a cutout rectangle.
2 Drag the anchors of the
rectangular shape to align them to
the section of the object you want
to cut out.
• Use the zoom window to help you
align the anchors precisely to the
corners of the cutout object.
• You can add more anchors by clicking
anywhere on a line. Drag the new
anchor to create a polygon.
• To delete anchors, tap on an anchor
to select, then click on
to delete it.
• The calculations column will display
the new area measurement excluding
the cutout section.
