# Moasure LX1 Technique

Measuring accurately with LX1 is all about how you move the device.

LX1 measures continuously while in motion, but accuracy is confirmed only when the device is placed flat and fully still against a surface.

Developing a smooth, consistent technique will give you the most reliable results.

This section introduces the three core skills that form the foundation of every floor plan:

***

### Master Pace

How quickly you move between placements affects accuracy more than distance travelled.

For best results:

* Move at a steady, controlled pace
* Avoid rushing between walls
* Aim to confirm a pause point every six to eight seconds
* Place the device flat and allow it to fully settle

Use the app’s timer bar and audio cues to guide your rhythm.

Stopping during the green or early amber phase keeps motion data clean.

***

### Master Placement

LX1 records a confirmed **pause point** each time it is placed flat and fully still against a wall.

A pause point is a confirmed position used to define the room layout and build the floor plan.

For clean geometry:

* Place the device flat against the surface
* Allow it to settle naturally
* Avoid tapping, bouncing or pressing harshly
* Ensure the correct reference point is aligned with the wall or feature being measured.

Every confirmed pause point defines a wall plane.

Consistent placement leads to clean wall-to-wall alignment.

***

### Master Rotation

Smooth rotation is essential when changing direction.

When turning corners:

* Rotate your body naturally
* Keep LX1 upright and stable
* Avoid twisting the wrist
* Do not swing or flick the device

Controlled rotation ensures motion tracking remains aligned with wall direction.

### Watch the Training Video

Start with the short technique video at the top of this page.

It demonstrates pace, placement, and rotation step by step and mirrors the guidance shown in the in-app onboarding.

### Why Technique Matters

LX1 relies primarily on motion tracking to build room geometry.

Good technique:

* Keeps motion data consistent
* Improves shape closure
* Helps the system interpret walls and features correctly
* Ensures repeatable, professional-grade results

Once you’re comfortable with pace, placement, and rotation, measuring rooms becomes fast, intuitive, and highly accurate.
