# Master Placement

Place Moasure LX1 smoothly and consistently against each surface.

Good placement means bringing LX1 to the surface in a **smooth, controlled movement**, then keeping it completely still while the point is captured.

You do not need to place LX1 directly into corners. LX1 uses your wall placements to define the wall planes, and the corners are calculated automatically.

***

### What Good Placement Looks Like

When you reach a wall or other surface:

* Place LX1 **flat against the surface**
* Use a **smooth, controlled placement**
* Apply **light, consistent pressure**
* Keep LX1 **completely still** while the point is captured
* Wait for the **green confirmation** before moving again

The aim is a clean transition from moving to completely still.

***

### Avoid Harsh Placement

Avoid tapping, bumping or placing LX1 firmly against the surface.

A harsh placement can cause unnecessary movement just as LX1 is trying to become still and capture the point.

If the **LEDs flash white**, the placement has been too harsh.

Simply keep LX1 still and allow it to settle before continuing.

***

### Avoid Hovering

Try not to slow down and hover LX1 close to the wall before finally placing it.

Instead, move smoothly towards the surface and make **one controlled placement**.

This helps create a clear transition between movement and the pause point.

***

### Using the Reference Point

For normal wall placements, the Reference Point can usually remain on the same side.

When you need to capture a specific edge, such as the edge of a door, window or stair opening, check that the **Reference Point is switched to the side you need**.

If necessary, press the arrow button **while moving between pause points** to switch it before your next placement.

Line the active Reference Point up with the edge you want to capture, then keep LX1 completely still until the point is confirmed.

***

### Placement Height

When placing LX1 against a wall, **the height of each placement does not need to be the same**.

You can place LX1 at any convenient and accessible height on the wall.

For example, one wall placement may be around waist height and the next may need to be higher or lower because of furniture or another obstruction.

The important thing is to make a **clean, stable placement against the wall**, rather than trying to keep every placement at exactly the same height.

***

### Horizontal Placements

There are some situations where LX1 is placed flat on a stable horizontal surface rather than held against a wall.

For example:

* Capturing **windowsill height**
* Making an **ignored pause point**

In these situations, place LX1 flat with the **LEDs facing upwards**, let go and allow it to become completely still. Once the point has been captured, pick LX1 back up and continue.

***

### The Simple Rule

**Move smoothly → Place smoothly → Keep still → Wait for green → Continue**

Good placement doesn't require force or perfectly matching placement heights.

Keep each placement **smooth, controlled and completely still while the point is captured** to help achieve the best possible results from Moasure LX1.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.moasure.com/en/moasure-lx1/your-moasure-lx1-device/moasure-lx1-technique/master-placement.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
