Start a Measurement

This section explains how to begin a new floor plan measurement using Moasure LX1.

Before Starting

Before you begin, make sure:

  • Moasure LX1 is powered on.

  • Bluetooth is enabled on your phone or tablet.

  • LX1 is connected in the Moasure app.

If LX1 is switched off, press either button to turn it on. The LEDs will flash to confirm the device is powered on.

See Turn Moasure LX1 On and Off for more information.

Choose a Starting Wall

Before starting your floor plan, choose an accessible section of wall to begin from.

For best results:

  • Always start on a wall - not a door, window or other feature.

  • Choose a section where you can place LX1 flat and securely against the wall.

  • Avoid starting too close to a corner or other feature where placement may be difficult.

  • Choose a starting position that will be easy to recognise, as you'll return to the same wall plane to complete the room.

You don't need to place LX1 in a corner. LX1 measures the direction of each wall, and the app calculates where the walls intersect to create the corners of your floor plan.

Begin a New Measurement

  1. Open the Moasure app.

  2. Tap the + button.

  3. Select the type of measurement you want to make.

Choose:

  • Floor Plan — create a new floor plan.

  • Laser Measurement — capture a single measurement using LX1's laser.

To begin measuring a room, tap Floor Plan.

Capture Your Starting Wall

Place LX1 flat against your chosen starting wall.

For best results:

  • Keep LX1 gently pressed flat against the wall.

  • Hold the device completely still.

  • Wait for the capture to complete before moving.

During the capture:

  • The LEDs will transition from red to green.

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

Your starting wall has now been captured.

Important: Feature options such as Door, Window, Stairs and Wardrobe / Closet are not available at the first captured point. These become available as you continue measuring the room.

Continue Measuring

You're now ready to continue around the room, capturing each wall and any features as you reach them.

See Measure a Room for step-by-step guidance on moving between walls, capturing pause points, adding features and completing the room.
