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.
Confirm the Wall Pause Point
When you reach the next wall:
Place LX1 flat against the wall surface
Keep the device fully still
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:
Move steadily to the next wall
Place LX1 flat and still against the surface
Wait for the pause point to confirm before moving again
Each confirmed pause point helps build the room geometry.
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 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.
