Measure Tool

The Measure Tool in the BIM Model App lets you measure distances (length) and areas directly within the 3D model.

It’s especially useful for quick on-the-spot calculations or verifying dimensions during design reviews or construction planning.

Accessing the measure tool

  • Click the Measure Tool icon from the side bar.
  • The Measure Mode panel will appear with two tabs:
    • Length (for straight-line distance)
    • Area (for surface area)

Starting a Length Measurement

1.    Select the Length tab.

2.    Click on the model to set your first point.

3.    Click again to place the second point — the distance will automatically be calculated.

4.    The result (in meters) will be displayed:

    • Directly in the model.
    • Added in the Measure Mode panel, under "Type: Length Measurement."

Starting an Area Measurement

1.    Select the Area tab.

2.    Begin clicking around the surface you want to measure.

3.    Place three or more points to form a shape.

4.    Once your polygon is complete, right-click to finish.

5.    The measured area (in square meters) will be:

    • Displayed over the selected region.
      Added in the Measure Mode panel, under "Type: Area Measurement."
