Using the Measure Lines & Area app

Measure Lines & Area is used to measure lengths and surface areas. Each measurement shows the length, total length, and surface area of the measured region. Measurements are saved in a .csv file.

You can measure areas using GNSS (), Real World ( / / ) or Model () based measurements.

To measure a line or area:

  1. Measure the first point.

    When measuring points for a line or area, they are shown as a blue sphere.

  2. Measure the second point. The yellow line is shown between the two points.

    The length between the points appears in a panel on the left of the screen, along with the current surface area defined by the measured points (0 m2 for a straight line).

  3. Continue to measure required points.

    As you measure more points, the measurements shown on the left of the screen show the length between the last 2 points, and also the total length from the first measured point to the last point and the area defined by the measured points.

    The surface area is displayed in purple.

     

    • If required, you can delete any point by double-tapping it.

    • If you need to insert a point after any previously measured point, tap the previously measured point to 'activate' it, then measure your new point. The new point is inserted after the 'activated' point.

  4. When you have measured an area, tap and give the measured area a name. Tap Finish to save it.

    To cancel the entire current line or area you are measuring, double-tap .

  5. Tap Sync to sync to Trimble Connect or the SV Measurements folder on your device (depending on how you loaded the model). See Syncing measurements for sharing in the office.
