Building 3D objects
By default, measurements are made in reference to the floor. For more advanced measurements, you can build a 3D box or a plane to serve as a reference for measurement.
- Click the [Measure] button in the sidebar.
-
Click the [3D Object]button in the toolbar.
-
Click on 2 points to create one side, drag, and click to create a 2D box. Drag pointer to the vertical axis and click at the desired height to create a 3D box. Once built, the 3D objects will display the LxWxH dimensions as well as the surface area (S) and the volume (V).
-
After building 3D objects, click the [Line]button.
-
Select any two points 3D on objects and get measurements.
-
You can save your 3D object by clicking on the [Save].
-
To edit the height of the created 3D object, hover the mouse over the axis and click & drag the white circle. To edit the size of the 3D object, hover the mouse over the surface of the object and click and drag the white dot.
- To delete 3D object you have created, click the [Hand] button, select the object you want to delete, and then click the [Trash bin] at the bottom-center of the screen. If you want to delete all at once, click the [Broom] button.
