incorrect.
Taking a Photo of the Object to Measure
1. Point your device at the object you wish to
measure, ensuring that the crosshair is on the
target.
• The whole object must be on the same
surface or plane as explained above.
• Ensure the crosshair is on a solid surface and
not on a window or hole or reflective surface.
• Use the zoom slider so you can better view
the crosshair location on your target, or
when you are positioned at a distance from
your target.
• Make sure you are as square as possible with
the target.
2. Tap the Capture button on the screen to take a
picture.
3. Tap on the small preview image to display
the photo you have just taken to enter
measurement mode (also referred to as Edit
mode).
Aligning to the Object
Before you can measure an object, you need
to set the image's perspective by outlining a
large rectangle on the surface of your target.
This identifies the angle from which your photo
was taken. Your target must be or must contain
a rectangular shape so that the object can be

aligned. For example, you can use the bricks of a
large wall to create an alignment rectangle.
1. In the Alignment screen, a rectangular shape
will appear over your target.
2. Drag the corners of the rectangular shape
to align them to the extreme corners of the
rectangle on your object.
• Here you are only aligning to the surface
or plane of your object. After alignment is
complete, measurements can be taken.
• Use the popup zoom window to help you
align the center of each circle precisely to the
corners of your object.
• You may also use your fingers to Pinch &
Zoom on the photo to better view the object.
• After setting the alignment, tap Next.
Measuring the Area of the Object
Once you have aligned your image to the object,
you can measure the area of your object.
• While on the Area tab, you can tap and drag
to create rectangular measurements. Drag
each corner of the rectangle to precisely
match the area you wish to measure.
• Use the popup zoom window to help you
align the center of each circle precisely to the
corners of the area.
• You can add more anchor points (white
circles) by selecting + (Add) and then
tapping anywhere on the line of the shape.
Drag the new anchor point to create a
polygon.
• The measurements of your object will display
on the screen.
