Measurements

Watch the short tutorial video here: Measurements.


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


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


See steps below to use the Measurements tool:


1. Click on the Measurements icon in the sidebar

2. It's recommended to use Scan&Teleport Mode with the 3D Surface display mode to pick the right points and make the most accurate measurements. 



3. Click the Add Measurement button, several options are available: Freehand, OrthoX, OrthoY, OrthoZ, Disto. Choose the one that fits the needs.


4. Freehand allows to measure the distance between two pick-points in any direction or axis:


5. Ortho X locks the measurement tool in the X-axis and allows to take a straight-line measurement in the X-axis direction:  


6. Ortho Y locks the measurement tool in the Y-axis and allows to take a straight-line measurement in the Y-axis direction: 


7. Ortho Z locks the measurement tool in the Z-axis and allows to take a straight-line measurement in the Z-axis direction:

 

8. Disto allows to take a straight-line measurement that is perpendicular to the surface where the starting pick-point was selected:


9. Once the measurement is taken click the Save Measurement button to save it to the Measurements list.


Measurements include: Length, Height, Width, Angle (from horizontal plane), and measurement along the X, Z and Z axis.


Measurements are saved with the context, so each time opening the measurement changes the appearance of the 3D view to the exactly same camera position and display mode at the moment of taking the measurement.


10. Measurements could be exported in a PDF report:

  • Go to the Report tab and in the Activities select Measurements to be listed in the report. Generate the PDF by clicking on Export PDF, which is downloaded locally.
  • Each item title of the PDF report is clickable, displaying the corresponding Measurement in Cintoo:


  • Measurements could be accessed from the Report tab by clicking on the measurement then on the 3D view. The corresponding 3D view opens.
