Measure Sidebar
The Measure Sidebar allows to perform different types of measurements as well as saving and downloading as feature layers.
Measure Functions
Measure Mode
Measure by Triangulation
Mobile mapping measurements can be done with a single click using point cloud\reference plane or via triangulation using two different views. Indicate the desired measure mode via the “Measure by Triangulation” switch.
Information about the measure techniques and point cloud hover settings :
If “Measure by Triangulation” is switched off measurement will be performed using point cloud (if present) or reference plane (if point cloud is not available).
Activate measure function
Start the desired measurement function with a single click on the corresponding icon.
- If a measure function is activated the appearance of the cursor changes in a rectangular cross when hovering the mouse pointer above a view.
- If a measure function is activated the zoom, pan and navigate functions are still available.

Results
Absolute (point coordinates) measurements results are displayed in WGS84 decimal degrees and in the CRS of any resource added to the publication.
Switching between WGS84 decimal degrees and any CRS of the published resources is accessible via Settings Menu in the left lower corner.
Relative measurements (distances, areas) will be calculated in an on-the-fly calculated local projection centered around the first measured coordinate. This local projections returns the most realistic metric result at all time.
Download measurements
- Add: the displayed measurement result will be copied to a table. For every added measurement code and comment information can be added.
- Remove: selected measurement result will be removed from the table.
- Remove all: all measurement results will be removed from the table.
- Export: all results added in the table will be exported into “3DMappingCloud-Measurements-Export.kml” file.
- Copy to Clipboard: measurement results will be copied toclipboard, ready to paste in a document.
- Restart: Restart the current measurement
