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.
