Point-to-Point measurement

The Point-to-Point measure tool measures the distance between two scene object points.

• When the tool is activated, a distance indicator displays over the mouse position that enables you to identify a picked point and its distance from the observer.

• The Point-to-Point line measurement displays on the center of the measurement line along with the 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 point-to-point measure

1. Activate Path mode on measure menu.

2. Identify and click the starting point with the mouse. When you click the first point, a sphere appears at the start of the measure line.

3. Move the mouse to identify the end point. A line is shown connecting the start point and the mouse position.

4. Move the mouse and click the second location to place the end point. A straight line is drawn between the two points. A context menu with Confirm, Delete, and Cancel options appears at the second point.

   • The Confirm button completes the measure line.

   • The Delete button deletes the current point.

   • The Cancel button closes the current measures without saving.

     

5. When you click the Confirm button, the point-to-point measure is created.

   

Guidelines about point-to-point measurements

When making a point-to-point measurement, both the start point and end point must be in valid locations.

It is not valid to:

• Click on an existing measured line segment.

• Place either start point or end point in the sky.

Additionally, each single line measure is paired with its respective axis components.

These axis components appear only when the measure is selected. To streamline the measure editing process, the axis components are temporarily hidden while dragging a point. After the editing is completed, the components are updated and automatically redisplay.
