This step-by-step tutorial demonstrates how to accurately measure a residential house and backyard using Moasure. Learn how to use to capture key features, including the house footprint, backyard, pool, and sprinkler locations. Additionally, the guide covers how to calculate surface area and label sprinkler positions.

Key Steps:

  1. Establish a Reference Point:

    • Begin with an to set a fixed reference point for accuracy.

    • Align Moasure with the wall edge and measure a straight A-to-B datum line.

  2. Measuring the House Footprint:

    • Switch to 'Wall Path' mode and capture the house outline.

    • Walk along walls, pausing in the green zone for accuracy and let Moasure extrapolate corners.

    • Use 'Ignore Line' to bypass obstacles.

  3. Measuring the Backyard:

    • Enable Moasure STICK and retrace the reference edge.

    • Use different : 'Straight Line' for perimeters, 'Trace Line' for curves, and 'Arc Path' where appropriate.

    • Capture changes using a structured zig-zag pattern.

  4. Mapping Sprinkler Locations:

    • Place markers at sprinkler positions and use the 'Circle' path type.

    • each sprinkler for easy identification.

  5. Measuring the Pool:

    • Capture the perimeter with 'Straight Line' path type.

    • For steps, measure key points on each step’s edge for accuracy.

  6. Hiding and Managing Layers:

    • Use the 'Layers' tool to organise, rename, or hide measurements.

    • Toggle specific layers to isolate and inspect areas like the backyard surface area.

  7. Exporting Measurements:

    • Save and data as a PDF, DWG, or DXF file for further use in CAD software.

By following these steps, Moasure helps streamline the measurement process, ensuring precise and organized data for your projects.
