# Reference Point

The reference point is the exact point your Moasure device measures from.

By default, this is the **sharp corner on the base of the device**, located on the opposite side to the LED indicator (as shown below).

### **Why the Reference Point Matters**

Every point you capture is measured from this reference point.

Using the correct reference point ensures:

* Accurate distances
* Clean, consistent shapes
* Reliable measurement results

If the reference point is set incorrectly, your measurements may be offset or distorted.

### **Using Moasure with the STICK**

When using the Moasure STICK, the reference point moves to the **tip of the STICK**.

To ensure accuracy, you must enable this in the app.

#### Set Reference Point for STICK

1. Go to **Settings** (tap the cog in the bottom-right corner of the app)
2. Tap **Measuring Options**
3. Toggle **Use Moasure STICK Attachment to on** (shows green)

***

### **Using Moasure without the STICK**

When not using the STICK, the reference point remains on the **corner of the device**.

#### Set Reference Point for Device Only

1. Go to **Settings** (tap the cog in the bottom-right corner of the app)
2. Tap **Measuring Options**
3. Toggle **Use Moasure STICK Attachment to** **off**

***

### **Quick Check Before Measuring**

Before starting a measurement, make sure:

* The correct reference point is selected in the app
* You are placing the correct part of the device (corner or STICK tip) at each point

This helps ensure your measurements are accurate from the start.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.moasure.com/en/moasure-one-and-moasure-2-series/your-moasure-device/reference-point.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
