RealityTwin provides a set of measurement tools to help you extract accurate information directly from your 3D environment. You can take distance, area, diameter and coordinates measurements.
Temporary vs. Persisted Measurements
By default, all measurements are created as temporary entities. This means:
They are only visible to you.
They are not saved in the Twin.
They will disappear if you refresh the page.
This prevents creating unnecessary noise when multiple users are working in the same environment.
If you want to make a measurement available to others, you can persist it using the left-side panel. Persisted measurements are stored in the Twin and visible to all users.

Simple measure
To measure a distance:
Select the simple measure tool in the toolbar,
Place the two points of the measure on your environment

Info
Like any tool, you can move while placing the measure tool by pressing
mouse right-click&mouse middle-click. See navigation controls.You can delete a measure by selecting it and pressing
Deletekey
Find Coordinates
The Find coordinates tool lets you inspect the XYZ coordinates of any point in the environment.
Its main purpose is to validate that the environment reflects the correct global coordinate system (e.g., verifying that imported scans align to georeferenced coordinates).
It can also be used when positioning objects or referencing external plans that rely on coordinate data.

Area measurement
The area measure tool allows you to accurately measure the surface of a closed area, the angles between the sides of the area and the sides length.

You must close the measure loop for the area surface to show.
Area measures are not editable and therefore need to be deleted if you wish to change them.
Diameter measurement (pipe measurement)
The diameter measure tool allows you to accurately measure the diameter of cylindrical objects such as pipes.

To measure a diameter, place your mouse cursor over the object you wish to measure, wait a few seconds for the measure to appear and simply mouse left-click to confirm the measure.
The accuracy of the diameter measure depends on the quality of the mesh being measured. Having higher quality may yield better results.
For accurate measures we recommend placing the cursor over a clean surface.
If a measure fails, a red dot will appear. Try placing your cursor on a different location.
Diameter measures are not editable and therefore need to be deleted if you wish to change them.
