They are captured in the same way as a **door opening**. You only need to measure the opening — there's no need to measure inside the closet or wardrobe itself. Once captured, its **shape, depth and appearance** can be refined afterwards using the editing tools. *** ### Capture the Opening There are two ways to capture a closet or wardrobe opening: * **Inside Edge-to-Inside Edge** – use when both inside edges of the opening are accessible, using the same technique as measuring a door Jamb-to-Jamb. * **Edge-to-Edge** – use the reference points when the inside edges aren't accessible and both outer edges can be reached. #### Inside Edge-to-Inside Edge If both inside edges of the opening are accessible, there's no need to change the reference point. **Workflow** 1. Whilst **Wall** is selected, move to the first inside edge of the closet or wardrobe opening. 2. Place LX1 flat against the first side and hold it completely still until the point is captured. 3. Don't select **Closet / Wardrobe** yet. Once the point has been captured, keep LX1 still and select **Closet / Wardrobe** in the Moasure app. This captured point becomes the first point of the opening. 4. Move directly across the opening. 5. Place LX1 flat against the opposite inside edge and hold it completely still until the second point is captured. The closet or wardrobe will appear automatically in your floor plan, and **Wall will be automatically selected again** so you can continue measuring. *** ### Edge-to-Edge If you can't measure between the inside edges of the opening, use **Edge-to-Edge**. With this method, you'll use the active reference point in the same way as when measuring a door Edge-to-Edge. **Workflow** 1. Whilst **Wall** is selected, move towards the first edge of the opening. 2. If required, press the **arrow button while moving** to select the correct reference point. 3. Align the active reference point with the first edge and hold LX1 completely still until the point is captured. 4. Don't select **Closet / Wardrobe** yet. Once the point has been captured, keep LX1 still and select **Closet / Wardrobe** in the Moasure app. This captured point becomes the first point of the opening. 5. Move directly across the opening. 6. If required, switch the active reference point **while moving** towards the opposite edge. 7. Align the active reference point with the opposite edge and hold LX1 completely still until the second point is captured. The closet or wardrobe will appear automatically in your floor plan, and **Wall will be automatically selected again** so you can continue measuring. *** ### Using the Reference Point When measuring **Edge-to-Edge**, the active reference point must correspond with the side of LX1 touching the edge you want to capture. If you need to change sides, press the **arrow button while moving** between points. The LED indicates which reference point is active. Switching the reference point correctly ensures LX1 records the intended position of the opening. *** ### Continue Measuring After a Closet / Wardrobe Once the second point has been captured, **Wall is automatically selected again** so you can continue measuring. Continue around the room in the same direction, capturing the next wall or feature as normal. There's no need to measure the depth or shape of the closet or wardrobe while measuring the room. *** ### Define the Closet / Wardrobe Space After measuring, use the editing tools to define the **shape, depth and appearance** of the closet or wardrobe. 1. Tap the closet or wardrobe in the floor plan. 2. Tap **Edit Closet / Wardrobe**. 3. Drag the side markers to align with the opening edges. 4. Drag the back marker to align with the inside wall edges. 5. Tap **Apply**. The editable area represents the internal floor space of the closet or wardrobe. *** ### Closet / Wardrobe Styles You can also change how the closet or wardrobe is represented in your floor plan. Available styles may include: * **Swing** * **Sliding** * **Open** The selected style updates how the closet or wardrobe appears in the floor plan. *** ### Best Practice For the best results: * Measure only the **opening** — there's no need to measure inside the closet or wardrobe. * Use the inside edges where both sides of the opening are accessible. * Use **Edge-to-Edge** when the inside edges aren't accessible and both outer edges can be reached. * Don't select **Closet / Wardrobe** until the first point has been captured. * Keep LX1 completely still until each point is confirmed. * Move directly and smoothly between the two sides of the opening. * When using Edge-to-Edge, switch the reference point **while moving**, if required. * Define the shape, depth and appearance afterwards using the editing tools. {% hint style="info" %} **Key Tip:** Measure the opening like a door, then refine the closet or wardrobe afterwards using the editing tools. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.moasure.com/en/moasure-lx1/measure-with-moasure-lx1/add-room-features/capturing-closets-wardrobes.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
