Measure a Room

After capturing your starting wall, continue around the room by moving to each wall in turn.

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 that wall’s position and direction.

---

Move to the Next Wall

Move LX1 smoothly and confidently towards the next wall.

For best results:

• Move at a steady, confident pace.

• Keep your movement smooth and controlled.

• 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.

Smooth, controlled movement helps LX1 maintain accurate tracking between pause points.

Tip: 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. Gently press it against the surface so it remains completely still.

3. Wait for the pause point to be captured before moving again.

During the capture:

• The LEDs will transition from red to green.

• An audible tone will confirm when the pause point has been captured.

Each pause point captures the position and direction of that 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 the walls intersect and create the corners of your floor plan.

This means you can 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:

1. Move smoothly to the next wall.

2. Place LX1 flat against it.

3. Hold it completely still.

4. Wait for the pause point to be captured before moving again.

As you continue, your floor plan will build in the app.

Capture Features as You Reach Them

As you measure around the room, capture features such as doors, windows, stairs and wardrobes / closets when you reach them.

Doors, windows and other features form part of the same measuring sequence, so capture them as you work around the room.

If the same wall continues beyond a feature, continue measuring that wall afterwards before moving on to the next wall.

See Add Room Features for detailed instructions on how to capture each type.

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 on the wall. Anywhere along the same wall plane can be used.

For best results:

• Finish on the same wall plane used at the start of the measurement.

• Place LX1 flat against the wall.

• Hold it completely still.

• Wait until the final pause point has been captured.

Your room measurement is now ready to be completed.

See Stop Measuring for instructions on completing your floor plan.

Best Practice for Accuracy

For the most accurate results:

• Move at a steady, confident pace.

• Keep movements smooth and controlled.

• Avoid sudden or jerky rotations.

• Place LX1 flat against each wall.

• Keep LX1 completely still while each pause point is captured.

• Aim to reach each pause point while the timer bar remains in the green zone.

• Use the timer bar and audio cues to guide your pace.

Remember, LX1 measures continuously while you move, so good pace, placement and rotation throughout the measurement will help you achieve the best results.
