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
