3. Element Measurements

Why measure elements?

The element’s area is used to calculate the severity of defects assigned to it.

There are four tools available under the Measure tab in the top menu:

Line – Measures distance between two points

Polyline – Measures the length of a broken line (e.g. perimeter)

Angle – Measures an angle using three points

Area – Calculates surface area

⁠

Select “Measure”

Select a tool

Click on the model with the left mouse button.

All measurements appear in the right panel. You can change units or delete previous measurements.

Notes:

Measurements are not saved in the system.

If needed, you must calculate area of the element manually and enter them into the element’s properties.

Part of the element can be measured with area tool.

⁠

Another part needs to be calculated after linear measurement.
