# Inspect Points and Edges

### Inspect Points <a href="#inspect-points" id="inspect-points"></a>

When using the Moasure device, it's important to understand the three-dimensional coordinate system that helps you measure and map out spaces. This system is based on three axes: X, Y, and Z, along with angle measurements. Each measurement consists of Points and Edges. Points are locations where you've paused, and edges are the lines that connect these points.

### Starting Point

Moasure uses the Cartesian coordinate system to define spatial relationships and measurements. Your starting reference point (the origin) is your initial position where:&#x20;

* #### X = 0
* #### Y = 0
* #### Z = 0

All subsequent measurements will relate to this starting point.

The first two measured points define the X-axis.

### Inspect Points

Tap on a point to inspect/view the coordinates. The coordinates are as follows:

* #### X: Represents one horizontal direction and measures distances and positions from the origin (starting point).
* #### Y: Represents another horizontal direction, perpendicular to the X-axis, and measures distances and positions from the origin.
* #### Z: Represents the vertical direction and measures elevation changes and positions from the origin.
* #### Angle: Displays the angle between edges or surfaces.

### Inspect Edges

Tap on a selected edge to inspect/view the length, rise, and run.

* #### Length: The total distance measured along an edge or line from one point to another.
* #### Rise: The vertical distance between two points, representing the change in elevation (Z-axis) from the starting point to the endpoint.
* #### Run: The horizontal distance between two points, representing the horizontal distance from the start point to the endpoint.
