Understand 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. Turn Use Moasure STICK Attachment on


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. Turn Use Moasure STICK Attachment 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.
