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."
