Moasure LX1 measures continuously while you move. Each time you place LX1 flat and completely still against a wall, the app captures a **pause point** and uses it to determine the position and direction of that wall. Your floor plan builds in real time in the app as you measure. *** ### Move to the Next Wall Move LX1 smoothly and confidently towards the next wall. For best results: * Move at a steady, controlled pace. * Keep your movement smooth. * Avoid sudden rotation, swinging or abrupt direction changes. * Aim to reach the next wall while the timer bar remains in the green zone. * Use the timer bar and audio cues to guide your pace. You don't need to walk in a perfectly straight line. If furniture or other obstacles are in the way, you can move around them as you make your way to the next wall. *** ### Capture the Next Wall When you reach the next wall: 1. Place LX1 flat against the wall. 2. Apply light, consistent pressure and hold the device completely still. 3. Wait for the pause point to be confirmed before moving again. The LEDs will transition from red to green, and an audible tone will confirm when the pause point has been captured. Each pause point records the position and direction of the wall. *** ### How Corners Are Calculated You don't need to place LX1 directly into a corner. Place LX1 anywhere along each accessible wall surface. The app uses the captured wall planes to calculate where adjoining walls intersect and automatically creates the corners of your floor plan. This allows you to measure rooms even when corners are difficult to access because of furniture, kitchen units, radiators or other obstacles. *** ### Continue Around the Room Continue around the room in the same direction, capturing each wall in turn. As you measure, your floor plan will continue to build in the app. Maintain good **Pace, Placement and Rotation** throughout the measurement for the best results. *** ### Capture Features as You Reach Them As you work around the room, capture features such as **doors, windows, stairs and wardrobes / closets** when you reach them. These features form part of the same measuring sequence, so capture them in their correct position as you progress around the room. If the same wall continues beyond a feature, continue capturing that wall before moving on to the next wall. See [**Add Room Features**](/en/moasure-lx1/measure-with-moasure-lx1/add-room-features.md) for detailed instructions on capturing each feature. *** ### Complete the Room Continue measuring until you return to the **same wall plane where you started**. You don't need to return to exactly the same position. Place LX1 anywhere along the same wall plane, hold it completely still and wait for the final pause point to be confirmed. Finishing on the same wall plane allows the room measurement to be completed. See [**Stop Measuring**](/en/moasure-lx1/measure-with-moasure-lx1/stop-measuring.md) for instructions on finishing your floor plan. *** ### Best Practice For the best results: * Maintain a steady, controlled pace between pause points. * Keep LX1 completely still while each pause point is captured. * Place LX1 flat against each wall with light, consistent pressure. * Rotate smoothly between walls. * Aim to reach each pause point while the timer bar remains green. * Capture doors, windows and other features as you reach them. * Finish on the same wall plane where you started.

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=&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.
