Multi-Point measurement

Multi-point Measurement (Path) mode

Path mode allows you to draw multiple line measurement. You are able to draw multiple line segments sequentially until the path measure is confirmed.

• Individual line measurement will be shown on center of respective line.

• Total length will be shown on center of path measurement along with measurement name.

Note: Measurement labels are hidden when the camera is moved away from measurement line and appears again when the camera moves close to the measurement line.

Perform a multi-point measure

1. Click Measure on the toolbar.

   

2. On the pop-up menu, select Linear.

   

3. On the Linear context menu, click Path. Alternatively, you can press shortcut key E.

   

   In the Path mode, you can draw line segments sequentially until the path measure is confirmed.

4. Identify and click the starting point with the mouse. The distance to camera indication disappears and the distance from starting point appears. When you click the first point, a sphere appears at the start of the measure line and the measure line appears in red color while drawing.

   

5. Move the mouse to identify the next point. The distance indicator follows the mouse. This helps to correctly identify the next point. A line is shown connecting the start point and the mouse position. A sphere is placed at all confirmed points.

6. Confirm the end point of the line segment. The measurement for confirmed line segment will be shown at the center of the line segment. When the measure is complete, the last sphere is placed at the end point of measure line.

7. When the measure line is confirmed, spheres will be hidden and the lines will turn to blue color.

   

   Note: The line is confirmed either by exiting the measure tool, or starting to draw a new measure line.

Confirming measurement

To confirm path measurement, there are three options.

• Right mouse click will confirm measurement.

• Double-click mouse on last point again to confirm measurement.

• Disabling the measure tool by clicking Measure button on main menu will confirm measurement.

Guidelines when using Path mode

• The Backspace button will undo the previously committed line in path measurement.

• You can freely change to a different axis-lock while drawing a path measurement.

• You can freely change the units of measure while drawing a path measurement. Subsequent measure line segments and total measurement will be shown in the most recently selected units of measure.

• You cannot switch to Point to Point mode once the path measurement is started until confirming or discarding the current path measurement.

Delete a path measurement

8. Move the mouse over the path measurement to be deleted. The measurement becomes thicker confirming selection.

9. Click the mouse over the measurement to remove it.
