As you move through a room, LX1 continuously tracks its position, direction and orientation, taking hundreds of measurements every second. When LX1 is placed flat and fully still against a wall, a **pause point** is confirmed. The LED indicator transitions from red to green to show that the pause point has been successfully captured. The floor plan is then built automatically from these pause points as you measure. Understanding how LX1 measures will help you achieve the most accurate and reliable results. *** ### The Core Principle LX1 measures continuously while in motion and records a **pause point** each time the device is placed flat and fully still against a wall. A pause point is a confirmed position used to define the room layout. As you move through the space, LX1 tracks: * Distance * Direction * Orientation Each pause point defines a wall plane. From these wall planes, the app automatically calculates corners and builds the room layout. You do not need to place LX1 directly into inside corners. Corners are calculated automatically from the transition between wall planes. *** ### Motion Tracking and Laser Measurement LX1 combines two measurement systems that work together to build the floor plan. #### Motion Tracking Motion sensors track distance, direction and orientation as LX1 moves between confirmed **pause points**. This is the primary system used to define room geometry and wall positions. #### Integrated Laser The integrated laser captures measurements across the room and across openings such as: * Doors * Windows * Stair openings The laser is also used for vertical measurements such as ceiling height and windowsill height. These systems work together to improve overall accuracy. When a clear line of sight exists, the laser supports direct measurements across the space. If the laser encounters furniture or other obstructions, LX1 prioritises motion-tracking data between confirmed pause points to maintain an accurate floor plan. *** ### Wall Planes and Corners Each time LX1 is placed flat against a wall, the app defines that wall as a straight vertical surface, or **wall plane**. When the next wall is captured, a second wall plane is created. Where these wall planes intersect, LX1 calculates the corner automatically. Because of this method: * You do not need to place LX1 directly into inside corners * Furniture or obstructions near corners do not prevent accurate measurement * Clean, flat placement against each wall produces the best results *** ### Feature Placement Features such as doors, windows, stairs and wardrobes or closets are assigned after LX1 confirms a pause point. Once a pause point is confirmed, the app allows you to select the correct feature type. The following pause point then defines the width or opening of that feature. Because features are attached to pause points, ensure the device is fully settled before assigning them. *** ### Reference Point LX1 measures from one active side of the device at a time. This is called the [**reference point**.](/en/moasure-lx1/your-moasure-lx1-device/reference-point-left-right.md) Switching between the left and right reference point allows accurate positioning when measuring: * Door frames * Window openings * Stair openings * Wardrobe or closet edges LED indicators on the device show which reference point is currently active. *** ### Wall Geometry LX1 captures true horizontal room geometry and wall angles. At launch, LX1 assumes walls are vertically straight. Measuring the same wall at multiple heights will not detect vertical lean, curvature, or bowing. *** ### Good Measuring Technique Accurate floor plans depend on consistent **Pace, Placement and Rotation** [techniques](/en/moasure-lx1/your-moasure-lx1-device/moasure-lx1-technique.md). For best results: * Place LX1 flat against each wall * Move at a steady, controlled pace * Allow the device to fully settle before each pause point is confirmed * Rotate smoothly as you move between walls * Start and finish on the same wall plane Following these techniques will help LX1 produce the most accurate floor plan possible. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
