For example, you can measure the elevation of a mountain or the height of a building. To measure height or the difference between two points, use Measure Vertical. If the mouse movesįar enough away from vertical, it returns to measuring in the
Perpendicular to the first click of the segment. Measurements vertically, meaning measuring stays in the y-direction only as you drag the arrow When you hover over the height component arrow, you can constrain distance A dynamic horizontal laser line shows the comparative heights throughout the view. Labels for vertical offset distances and 2D distances also display, where applicable. The dashed orange-and-white line indicates the direct distance between the current endpoints when you draw segments over the surface. When you use the Measure Distance tool in a scene, the measured results include visual feedback for multiple components that are returned. To learn more, see Ground to grid correction.
Click the map or scene as necessary to add any additional segments.įor maps with Ground To Grid corrections turned on, the measured results from Measure Offset and Measure Direction Distance show the grid values as well as the values after being corrected to ground. Offset, angle, and direction distance measurements are only available in planar mode. For mode, click the drop-down list to set the interactive measurement type for measuring line distances. For example, you can set the units for the total area as well as the units returned for each segment of the polygon used to calculate the area. For area, feature, and direction distance measurements, you can set units for different components. Only one unit can be displayed at a time. For units, click the drop-down list and select the unit for the measured result. Optionally, in the measure window, set units for the results and the measurement mode. Some tools require an initial baseline and then all additional lines are measured from the baseline. In a scene, it is a dashed orange-and-white line. 
On a map, line feedback color is a dashed blue-and-white line. Click to measure a feature, or draw two or more points to measure distances, area, direction, or angles. The measure tools that are 2D or 3D specific are enabled when applicable. The measure overlay window appears in the upper left of the view.
In a map or scene view, on the Map tab, in the Inquiry group, click the Measure drop-down menu. To use the measure tools, complete the following steps: The measured angles are listed whether they are in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Measure one or more perpendicular offset distances from a baseline you draw.ĭraw two or more lines to measure angles. If Ground To Grid corrections are turned on, the corrected values are also shown. Move the pointer sideways to widen a reference circle at the end of the line to help identify the top (or bottom) of the measurement.ĭraw a line on the map to measure the straight-line direction and distance between two or more points. Measure a feature's length (line), perimeter and area (polygons), or x,y,z location (point features).ĭraw a vertical line to measure height or to measure the difference between two locations. In 3D, the area measured returns the 2D surface area. You can perform geodetic area measurements in a geographic coordinate system (GCS) and planar area measurements in a projected coordinate system (PCS). Path Net Elevation Change (3D)-The vertical difference between the first point and the last point along the measured pathĭraw a polygon to measure the area on the ground. Path Net Distance-The distance from the start of the path to the end of the path using the current measure settings. Path Net Bearing-The direction calculated in degrees from true north to move from the first point to the last point using the current measure settings. Height Difference-The vertical height difference. Map Distance-The 2D map distance calculated using the specified measurement mode. 
3D Distance-The direct-line 3D distance.The following measurement result values are returned: For example, click a window or face of a building, and measure to another building. In 3D, you can measure between locations not on the ground. The 2D map distance measurement value is calculated using a specified measurement mode. Measure the distance between two or more points.
