Requirements and Recommendations

Measurements can be performed in Cintoo in 3D View in either Scan&Teleport mode or 3D Navi mode.

Measurements cannot be performed in 2D Panoramic display mode. It must be one of 3D display modes. Once a measurement has been created, it can be viewed in 2D Panoramic mode as well.

Warning: avoid saving measurements to root work zone as with project growth managing objects would become challenging.

Instead create a dedicated work zone with a clear name to store measurements in one place or save them to the same work zone where associated data is stored.
