# Measure a Room

After capturing the first pause point, continue measuring by moving between wall planes and confirming each pause point.

LX1 measures continuously while in motion. A **pause point** is confirmed each time the device is placed flat and fully still against a wall.

***

### Move to the Next Wall

Hold LX1 upright and stable as you move.

For best results:

* Move steadily toward the next wall plane
* Keep movement smooth and controlled
* Avoid swinging, twisting or abrupt direction changes
* Aim to place while the timer bar is still in the green zone
* Use the timer bar and audio cues to guide when to pause

Smooth, steady movement helps produce accurate wall geometry.

**Tip:** You don’t need to walk in a perfectly straight line. If furniture or obstacles are in the way, you can move around them. LX1 measures continuously while moving and creates a straight wall plane between confirmed pause points.
{% endhint %}

### Confirm the Wall Pause Point

When you reach the next wall:

1. Place LX1 flat against the wall surface
2. Keep the device fully still
3. Wait for confirmation

During confirmation:

* The LED transitions from red to green
* An audible tone sounds when the pause point is captured

Do not move the device until confirmation is complete.

Each confirmed pause point defines a wall plane.

***

### How Corners Are Calculated

You do not need to place LX1 directly inside corners.

Corners are calculated automatically from the transition between confirmed wall planes.

This allows accurate measurement even when corners are blocked by furniture or obstructions.

***

### Continue Around the Room

Repeat the process for each wall:

1. Move steadily to the next wall
2. Place LX1 flat and still against the surface
3. Wait for the pause point to confirm before moving again

Each confirmed pause point helps build the room geometry.

***

### Openings Do Not End a Wall

When measuring doors, windows, stairs or wardrobes, continue measuring the wall after the feature if the wall continues beyond the opening.

Features are attached to a wall plane and do not replace the wall itself.

For the most accurate results, complete the wall geometry before moving to a different wall plane.

***

### Complete the Room

Continue measuring until you return to the same wall plane where you started.

You do not need to return to the exact same point.

For best results:

* Finish on the same wall plane used for your first pause point
* Keep LX1 flat and still for the final pause point
* Wait until the final pause point is fully confirmed

See [**Stop Measuring**](/en/moasure-lx1/measure-with-moasure-lx1/add-labels-while-measuring.md) for instructions on completing the floor plan.

***

### Best Practice for Accuracy

For the most accurate results:

* Move at a steady, controlled pace
* Keep LX1 upright and stable
* Avoid abrupt direction changes
* Pause at each wall plane to capture a clear pause point
* Allow every pause point to fully confirm

LX1 measures continuously while moving, but each pause point is confirmed only when the device is stationary and stable.

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. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

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/measure-a-room.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
