Understand Views

This guide will take you through how to navigate and view your measurements in the Moasure app, with various viewing options and tools to help you visualise your data effectively.

From app version 2.0 onwards, views have been improved. They're now accessible on the canvas and have been expanded to include surface and contour views.

Full View and Navigation

When you complete a measurement diagram, each path captured between pause points is displayed. Double-tap anywhere on the screen to make the full diagram visible, drag with one finger to move your measurement, pinch with two fingers to zoom in and out, or swipe with one finger to pan left or right.

2D Plan View

2D Plan offers a top-down perspective of your measurement, allowing you to see the perimeter and area clearly. Tap an individual pause point to reveal its relative XYZ coordinates, including elevation. Tap away from any pause point on your screen to see the View icons again.

2D Fit View

If your measurement is on a sloping plane rather than horizontal, 2D Fit aligns with the angle of the slope, adjusting dimensions and area accordingly. Note that switching to 2D Fit on a horizontal plane won't cause a significant change in the view.

3D Cube View

To explore measurements in three dimensions, such as elevations or gradients, tap on the 3D cube icon. This switches to the 3D view, where you can pinch to zoom and use one finger to pan your drawing, both horizontally and vertically.

3D Surface View

By tapping on the 3D surface icon, you can access a surface mesh view, represented by a colour scale, with blue as the lowest point and red as the highest point. This view also provides information on surface area – the total of all faces of the 3D figure – and volume, calculated by projecting the lowest point’s height (shown as the lowest Z-value) to a horizontal plane.

Contour View

If you used the Points path type to capture elevation data, switch to Contour view to see a contour map of your drawing. The contour lines represent gradient steepness: closer lines mean steeper gradients, while wider spacing indicates gentler slopes. The app automatically sets the contour interval to reflect the elevation changes. Use this view to gain insights into the topography of your measurement.

From within Contour View, switch between 2D and 3D views using the toggle towards the top of the canvas to better visualise your data:

  • 2D View: displays the contours in a flat plane, making it easier to interpret the overall gradient.

  • 3D View: adds depth, showing the elevation changes in three dimensions for a more realistic representation.

Toggle between the views to see your measurement from different perspectives, helping you to assess the terrain more effectively.

Points and Lines

Switch back to standard 2D or 3D views to interact with individual elements; tapping on a measurement line will display its length, rise, and run. Selecting a point will reveal its angle and XYZ coordinates. Tap away from any selected point or edge to bring back the view icons.

Cross Section View

Cross Section enables you to measure the rise, run and gradient between two points. To use Cross Section,

  1. Select a point by tapping on it

  2. Tap on the ‘Cross Section’ button that appears.

  3. Select a second point. You will see the length, rise and run in the data card.

  4. Tap on the 'Cross Section' button at the bottom. You will then see the gradient, rise, run and angle.

  5. You can use the tabs to switch between the default 'Gradient View' to 'Plan View'. Gradient View displays incline details between points, including run, gradient percentage, rise, and angle. Plan view displays a top-down view of the horizontal distance between the points.

There are two ways to calculate volume in this view – learn more on the page under Understand Perimeter and Lowest Point Plane.
