  2. Select another language from the dropdown menu.

  3. The interface language will update.

Master Rotation

Rotating the device correctly is an important part of achieving accurate measurements with Moasure.

Watch this tutorial to learn when to rotate the device, how quickly to rotate it, and how to avoid sudden movements that can affect measurement accuracy.

Moasure uses motion sensors to track movement and orientation throughout a measurement.

Sudden or abrupt rotations can make it more difficult for the device to accurately track its position.

The goal isn't to rotate the device as quickly as possible. Instead, rotate it smoothly and gradually while moving between pause points, allowing the device to continuously track the change in orientation.

To achieve the best results:

  • Rotate the device gradually while moving.

Starting Path Type

The Starting Path Type Setting sets the default Path Type for all measurements. This is the Path Type that is selected by default when starting a measurement.

To change this setting, follow the steps below:

  1. Open Settings by tapping on the cog icon in the bottom right corner.

  2. Tap on Measuring Options.

Moasure STICK Attachment

Use this setting when measuring with the Moasure STICK attachment to ensure the app applies the correct reference point and maximises accuracy.

By default, your Moasure device’s is located on the bottom of the sharp corner. When the Moasure STICK Attachment setting is enabled, the reference point moves to the tip of the foam-lined holder.

  1. Open Settings using the cog icon in the bottom-right corner

  2. Tap Measuring Options

Measuring Units

The Measuring Units Setting enables you to change the unit system and decimal precision.

To change the unit system, follow the steps below:

  1. Open Settings by tapping on the cog icon in the right upper corner.

  2. Tap on Measuring Units.

Tap on Starting Path Type and select the Path Type you wish to be selected by default.

Learn more about Path Types in our Path Types Guide.

Log Out

Use this when you want to sign out of your Moasure account.

Logging out does not delete your account, measurements or settings.

To log out, follow the steps below:

  1. Open Settings by tapping the cog icon in the bottom-right corner.

  2. Tap Account & Device Management.

  3. Tap Log Out under Account Management.

  4. Confirm by tapping Yes in the dialog that appears.

You will be returned to the Moasure welcome screen and can log back in at any time using your account details.

Analytics & Privacy

We recommend keeping analytics enabled to help improve Moasure and support services.

To change this setting, follow the steps below:

  1. Open Settings by tapping the cog icon in the bottom-right corner.

  2. Tap Account & Device Management.

  3. Under Account Management, tap Enable Analytics.

  4. Use the toggle to turn analytics on or off.

Mute Measurement Audio

This setting enables you to mute the auditory feedback you get when measuring.

  • Linear (meters/feet)

  • Area (square meters/square feet)

  • Angle (degrees)

  • Gradient (percentage)

  • Export (meters/feet, which can be set differently to linear setting so that the export displays differently from the measurement in the app).

Unit System

Decimal Precision

Avoid sudden twists or abrupt changes in direction.

  • Complete the rotation before placing the device at the next pause point.


  • When using Moasure STICK, begin rotating the device as you walk towards the next pause point.

    Rather than waiting until you reach the next point and twisting the STICK, spread the rotation smoothly throughout your movement.

    • Rotate gradually while walking.

    • Spread the rotation across the movement.

    • Place the device once the required orientation has been reached.

    • Twisting the STICK suddenly.

    • Rotating the device after it has been placed.

    • Making abrupt changes in direction.


    The same principles apply when measuring without Moasure STICK.

    Rotate the device gradually as you move rather than picking it up and quickly turning it just before placing it down.

    Smooth, continuous rotation allows Moasure to track orientation more accurately.


    Rotate the device whenever the reference point needs to face a different direction.

    Common examples include:

    • Turning around a corner.

    • Following a curved boundary.

    • Changing the edge or wall being measured.

    • Switching to a different reference point orientation.

    If no rotation is needed, simply continue measuring with the device facing the same direction.


    • Rotate the device gradually while moving, not after you arrive.

    • Spread the rotation evenly between pause points.

    • Avoid sudden twists or abrupt movements.

    • Complete the rotation before placing the device.

    • Keep your movement smooth and controlled throughout the measurement.

    while measuring. When your Moasure device is stationary, it records a pause point, and Label and Ignore buttons appear on the canvas.

    To add a label:

    1. Tap Label when the options appear.

    2. Enter your label name in the text box.

    3. Tap Apply to confirm, or Cancel to discard the label and return to your measurement.

    4. The label will automatically be applied to the current pause point, unless a previous pause point is selected prior to tapping on the Label button.

    To ignore the current pause point while stationary during a measurement:

    1. Tap Ignore.

    2. By default, this applies to the current pause point – the solid edge between the previous and current points in your measurement will become a dashed edge, highlighting that the current point is marked as ‘temporary’, and it will not be excluded until you measure another point.

    3. Continue measuring to the next pause point.

    4. When you are stationary and your next pause point has been captured, the ignored point will be greyed out and the dashed edge will disappear. A solid measurement edge will link your current pause point with the previous ‘true’ pause point, bypassing the ignored point in between.

    To ignore a previous pause point while stationary during a measurement:

    1. Tap on a specific previous pause point.

    2. Tap Ignore.

    3. The point will be greyed out, and ignored by the measurement edges.

    Once you've finished your measurement, tap the red stop icon.

    Your completed drawing will be displayed on the canvas where you can view it from different perspectives, inspect it, edit it and save it.

    While there's currently no direct option to clear the canvas, starting a new measurement by tapping on the + icon or opening a saved measurement will automatically override the current measurement shown. It's important to note that new measurements or any edits made to existing ones are not saved automatically.

    To ensure your changes are preserved, tap on File and then Save. Additionally, the app will prompt you to save your progress whenever it detects actions that could lead to potential data loss, such as starting a new measurement or opening another one.

    Start a Measurement

    For Closed Shape Measurements, always start and finish at the same point - use a memorable marker like a cone or corner.

    With motion-based measuring, the measurement error grows exponentially over time. To maximise measurement accuracy, you must pause every 6 to 8 seconds during a measurement. To reduce error and maximise measurement accuracy, take your measurement as quickly as you can – even if that may seem counter-intuitive.

    Cut / Fill

    In this guide you'll learn how to use the cut / fill tool, which helps you calculate the volume of material to add or remove from a site using the Moasure app.

    The Cut / Fill tool is available in app version 2.0 and upwards. If you are on an older app version, you will need to update the app to access this feature.

    When to Use Cut/Fill

    You can use the Cut/Fill Tool when you're involved in earthwork or construction projects that require leveling the terrain. This tool helps determine the amount of material to be excavated or added to achieve the desired results. Let's say a landscaper is working on a project to create a terraced garden on a sloping site. They may use cut and fill techniques to achieve this. In the case of the cut operation, the landscaper may excavate the higher areas of the slope to create a level platform for the garden terraces. Let's say they remove 100 cubic yards of soil during this process. Next, for the fill operation, they might bring in additional soil or fill material to raise the lower areas of the slope, filling in the spaces between the terraces. Let's say they add 100 cubic yards of fill material. In this scenario, the cut and fill values would be equal, resulting in a net volume of 0. This means that the amount of soil removed (cut) is balanced by the amount of soil added (fill). It helps create a level surface for the terraced garden while maintaining overall volume equilibrium. While achieving volume equilibrium and minimising material costs are crucial considerations in cut / fill projects, they may not be the sole factors. We can imagine a scenario where a landscaper might aim for a terrace height significantly surpassing the current lowest point, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the garden landscape. This desire for an elevated yet level terrace introduces a scenario where the net volume is not necessarily zero; there could be a need for more fill material than cut material, depending on the depth of the lowest point. To address this, the cut/fill tool can be utilised to set a specific level, such as +2 meters. Using the Moasure app, the tool calculates the necessary material adjustments—cutting and filling—to achieve the desired terrace height while maintaining a level surface.

    There's a recommended way to measure volume. Learn more in our .

    Calculate Cut / Fill Volumes To use the Cut / Fill tool for volume calculations, follow these steps:

    1. Open the app and tap on Edit.

    2. Select Cut / Fill.

    This will take you to the Cut / Fill Screen, where you'll find:

    • The cut volume.

    • The fill volume.

    • The net volume.

    • The level at which the cutting plane is positioned.

    As you move the slider, you'll see the cut, fill, and net volumes change, and the level of the cutting plane adjusts accordingly. The volumes are calculated based on a vertical projection to the horizontal cutting plane.

    Enter Custom Cutting Plane Value In addition to using the slider, you can input a custom value for the cutting plane level. To do this:

    1. Tap on the Edit icon next to the level value.

    2. Enter your desired value.

    3. Tap Update.

    The level will shift to the inputted value, and the cut, fill, and net volume values will update accordingly.

    Reset Values to 0 If you want to determine the level where the cut volume is 0, follow these steps:

    1. Tap on the reset icon next to the cut value.

    2. This action will set the cut volume to 0, and it will adjust the fill, net, and level values. The cutting plane will visually move to the level where the cut volume equals 0.

    You can perform a similar process for the fill volume and net volume by tapping on the reset icon. Setting the net volume to 0 helps you find the level where cut/fill values are equal, indicating the position for levelling the site whilst maintaining volume equilibrium.

    Understand Path Types

    When you begin a measurement in the Moasure app, you'll use what's called a Path which is the line that connects each pause point. The Moasure app offers seven different path types, each suited to a specific kind of measurement or environment.

    You can switch path type at any pause point, either during your measurement or after it's finished. This gives you the flexibility to adapt to different shapes, obstacles, and features within a single project.

    Selecting the right path type ensures the most accurate measurements for your project, especially when working with curved surfaces, elevation changes, or complex layouts.

    To begin a measurement, open the Moasure app and tap the green + icon. Choose between 'Closed Shape' or 'Open Shape' . Once selected, the Paths icon appears at the bottom of the screen, displaying the seven available path types.

    While at a pause point, as long as the Moasure device is stationary, you can pause as long as you need to before moving to the next pause point.

    If you start moving again from a pause point, the current path type remains active until you manually change it by tapping on the path most suitable for your next measurement.

    When starting a new measurement, the Path will be set to your default path type – this will be

    Moasure Coach

    Moasure Coach settings allow you to control when and how guidance is shown during and after a measurement.

    Moasure Coach provides feedback to help improve your measuring technique. For guidance on how to use this feedback, see


    When enabled, Moasure Coach displays feedback after a measurement is complete.

    This includes:

    • A feedback banner on the results screen

    • Highlighted areas of the measurement that may be improved

    Trace Path Options

    Trace Path Options allow you to customise how the Trace Line path behaves, giving you greater control over how your measurements are recorded.

    Flight points make up the freeform lines when using Trace Line Path – this setting determines the distance between points captured when the device is ‘flying’ between pause points.

    You can choose from the following options:

    • Metric: 0.05m, 0.10m, 0.20m, or 0.30m

    • Imperial: 0.20ft, 0.40ft, 0.70ft or 1.00ft

    By default, 0.10m / 0.40ft is selected.

    Lower values capture more detail, while higher values create a more simplified path.

    Measure Staircases

    Learn how to measure interior and exterior staircases.

    Follow these steps to measure a staircase: 1. You can start a closed shape measurement by tapping on '+' in the bottom centre of the app and choosing Closed Shape. A closed shape will provide the perimeter as well as the square footage/square meters. 2. In the following screen, you can start measuring. At the bottom, you will see the available path types. By default, the path type it will measure in is 'Straight Line'. This means that the pause points (the points at which you place the device down) are connected by a straight line. You can leave it on Straight Line. 3. Choose a memorable start point at the bottom of your staircase, for example at the left bottom of the staircase. Place your device stationary at that start point to record your first measurement point.

    4. Walk up the stairs and stick to the side you've chosen (e.g. if you started on the left, stick to the left) and place the device down every 6-8 seconds. There's no rush in getting to a specific point, you can pause as many times as you want/need. 5. Once at the top, pause to record that measurement point and then move to the other side of the staircase (for example right) and place the device down to capture the furthest point on the other side of the staircase. 6. Walk down the staircase and repeat step 4 (stopping every 6-8 seconds by placing the device down making sure it is stationary). 7. Once you reach the bottom, stop again. 8. Now walk to the other side to finish at the same point where you started so that the shape is closed. 9. Tap the red stop icon at the bottom of the screen to complete your measurement. You will now see the 2D 'plan view' of the drawing that you have captured which shows a top-down perspective of your measurement where you can see the perimeter and area of the staircase. By tapping on the 3D cube, you can explore elevations, grades, or gradients. Tapping each selected point reveals their relative XYZ coordinates, with Z showing the height elevation. By tapping on a selected edge, you can view the length, rise and run. Read more about and

    Measure Volume Guide
    Straight Line
    as standard, but you can alter the Starting Path Type in your settings.

    If you begin moving again from a pause point, Moasure will continue with the previously selected path type unless you manually change it.

    The default path type is automatically applied when starting a new measurement - this is Straight Line unless you've set a different starting path type in your settings.

    The Seven Path Type Options

    The Straight Line path type is the most commonly used. It connects two pause points with a direct line, no matter the actual route you walk between them.

    This is ideal for:

    • Measuring direct distances

    • Navigating around obstacles like trees, rocks, or patio furniture

    • Keeping measurements fast, simple, and accurate

    Straight Line is the default path type when you start a new measurement, but you can change this in your app settings at any time.

    Measure through or around obstacles using the Straight Line path type.

    Trace Line captures the precise movement of your Moasure device between pause points. It’s ideal for complex, curved, or irregular shapes such as lawns, pools, and ponds. Unlike Straight Line, the route taken is the measurement.

    Trace Line allows accurate measuring around curved shapes, such as the edge of a pool or bunker.

    Points path captures individual points without connecting them with lines. This is useful for marking locations of interest, such as trees or sprinklers. It is also the required path type for capturing elevation points when measuring volume.

    There are two ways to use Points for volume measurements.

    For the first method, during a continuous measurement, start by capturing the perimeter, return to the starting point without ending the measurement, and then switch to Points to record elevation changes within the area. To collect elevation data across the surface, use a spiralling pattern to maintain consistency in your technique. This method is best for oval or circular areas. For rectangular or square areas, a zig-zag pattern is the best approach, ensuring even coverage and the highest accuracy.

    For the second method, as a separate layer, first complete the perimeter measurement. Then, retrace the A-B measurement to ensure everything stays aligned. As soon as you reach the B measurement, Moasure will automatically switch to Ignore Line. Once inside the area, manually switch to Points to start capturing grade changes across the surface. Again, for oval or circular areas, use a spiralling pattern, while for rectangular or square areas, a zig-zag pattern provides the best accuracy.

    Whichever method you choose, each point will record x, y, and z coordinates for accurate elevation mapping.

    Points path captures individual points without connecting them with lines
    Points captured by the Points path

    An Ignore Line path allows you to exclude a length or distance from your measurement. It’s useful, for example, when you need to omit one edge or segment of a perimeter measurement – switching the path type to Ignore Line will allow you to continue and complete your measurement, then the Ignore Line segment will be omitted from your final diagram. Ignore Line is also used when creating Layers.

    When starting a new Layer, the path type switches to Ignore Line after your A-B measurement

    Wall path is designed for capturing the footprint of outdoor walled structures, such as gazebos, office blocks, or houses.

    To use it, simply place your Moasure device - without the STICK - against the middle of each wall with the LED facing up. The app will then capture the plane of the wall and automatically determine the corners, helping you map out the space accurately.

    To ensure an accurate footprint, always finish your measurement at the same starting point. This will generate a complete diagram, showing the perimeter and area, making it easy to plan modifications or assess available space.

    If you come across a wall that’s blocked by trees, fences, or furniture, there’s a simple way to handle it using Ignore Line.

    Instead of stopping your measurement, just lay the Moasure device flat on the ground with the logo and LED facing up. When placed this way, the Moasure app automatically switches the path type to Ignore Line, meaning that point will be skipped.

    Now, move around the obstacle to the other side and place the device vertically against the same wall edge to resume your measurement. Your device will pick up exactly where you left off, keeping your measurement accurate and complete.

    This method is useful for measuring buildings or spaces with hard-to-reach areas, ensuring you can capture the full structure without disruption.

    Wall path captures the plane of the wall and automatically extrapolates the corners

    An Arc path type is used for measuring curved shapes, such as driveways, pools, or winding paths. To capture an arc, measure at least three points - the start, the middle, and the final point at the end of the curve.

    At first, the app will draw a straight line to the second middle point, but once the third point is captured, it automatically switches to a best-fit arc, creating a smooth and accurate curve.

    Measure at least three points - the start, the middle, and the final point at the end of the curve

    For more complex shapes, like an ‘S’ curve, we combine arc and straight line paths. First, capture the initial arc using three points as mentioned. Then, switch to the straight line path to add a short break between the curves. This tells the app and Moasure that you’re starting a new arc, preventing it from continuing the previous arc’s rotation.

    After that, switch back to the arc path to measure the second curve, again capturing three points - the start, middle, and end.

    With both arcs and the straight section measured, the ‘S’ shape is now complete.

    Circle

    A Circle path automatically generates the best-fit circle based on the points you measure. To capture a circular shape, measure at least three points around the circumference, placing them in a triangular grid formation rather than returning to the starting point. This helps define the circle’s shape more accurately.

    For larger circular areas, such as a traffic circle, rotary, or circular plaza, capturing four or more points along the edge will provide greater accuracy. This ensures a more precise measurement for large, defined circular shapes.

    Although the minimum number of pause points required for Arc and Circle paths is three, capturing one or more additional points on the circumference for either of these path types, so four or more points in total, will result in a more accurate measurement.

    Accessing Path Types in the App

    By default, the first path type used is Straight Line. However, you can change your Starting Path Type in the app settings.

    measurements

    Keep in mind: Your Moasure device records its position based on the , which is the pointed corner or edge of the device or the Moasure STICK if you're using one. Always align this point at the start of your measurement for the most accurate results.

      2. Actual Z (True Height Trajectory): tap this to view the unfiltered, precise elevation changes, giving you an accurate representation of the terrain as it was measured.

    This captures height at pause points, ignoring fluctuations in between.

    You may want to avoid capturing all the elevation fluctuations that occur when lifting the device (the true flight path trajectory). Linear Height Smoothing applies linear interpolation between pause points, providing a more streamlined representation of vertical changes between points, resulting in a smooth elevation curve.

    This captures the actual height trajectory of the device between – and at – pause points.

    True Height Trajectory measures vertical movements both between and at pause points, capturing the device’s true height trajectory. Use this option when you need to trace not only a shape’s outline, but also its elevation during movement. If you don’t want to capture elevation changes between pauses, use Linear Height Smoothing instead.

    Measure Volume and 3D Terrain

    In this guide, you’ll learn how to measure volume and 3D terrain using a Moasure device

    Moasure captures measurements in three dimensions as you move, allowing you to record changes in elevation and map real-world terrain. From this, it provides surface area and volume, enabling you to measure everything from flat surfaces to complex landscapes.

    There are two ways to measure volume with a Moasure device:

    • Simple Method — capture perimeter and elevation in a single measurement

    • Advanced Method (Layers) — return later and add volume to an existing perimeter

    Start with the Simple Method below, or jump to the Advanced Method if you are working with layers.

    To measure volume in a single measurement, follow these steps:

    1. Tap Start to begin a new measurement

    2. Walk the perimeter of the area you want to measure

    3. Return to your starting point without ending the measurement

    4. Change the to Points

    Moasure ONE and the Moasure 2 Series allow you to capture volume as an additional layer, meaning you can return to a site later and measure volume using a previously recorded perimeter.

    This is especially useful for landscaping, excavation, or turfing projects where elevation data isn’t needed during the initial visit but can be added later.

    To ensure accurate results:

    • Your original measurement must include a clear, straight A–B reference edge

    • Mark Point A and Point B with visible markers (e.g. flags or cones) so you can return to the exact same positions

    1. Open your saved measurement, tap the Layers icon, then select Add Layer

    2. The app will display your A–B reference edge

      • This is the original edge used to align the new volume layer with your perimeter

    1. Return to Point A, then walk toward Point B to retrace your original A–B reference edge

      • A black guide line will appear to help you follow the same reference edge

      • This step ensures your new layer is correctly aligned with the original measurement

    To view your volume calculation:

    • Tap 3D Mesh view to see the calculated volume

    You can choose between two reference planes:

    • Lowest Point Plane Uses the lowest captured point as the base Best for excavations, pools, or areas below ground level

    • Perimeter Plane Uses the height of the perimeter as the base Best for stockpiles or materials sitting on relatively level ground

    To access additional volume tools:

    • Tap Edit, then scroll to:

    • Cut and Fill Estimates how much material needs to be added or removed to level the surface

    • Add Depth Calculates the volume of material below the measured surface (ideal for excavation)

    To view contour data:

    • Tap the Contour icon

    Contour maps show changes in elevation using lines that connect points of equal height.

    • Closely spaced lines indicate steeper slopes

    • Wider spacing indicates flatter areas

    You can switch between 2D and 3D views, and adjust contour settings within the app.

    For more advanced calculations, such as estimating material quantities or levelling terrain, you can use and Tools.

    • Add Depth Use when calculating how much material is needed to cover an area at a specific depth (e.g. mulch, soil, or aggregate)

    • Cut / Fill Use when calculating how much material needs to be removed or added to level a surface or reshape terrain

    Volume measurements can be split across layers, allowing the perimeter to be captured in one layer and elevation data in another, or across multiple layers.

    This is particularly useful for large or complex terrain with significant variation.

    • Redo specific layers without repeating the entire measurement

    • Improve resolution by adding more elevation data

    • Increase flexibility by separating perimeter and elevation capture

    • Accurate alignment between layers is essential

    • Poor alignment can lead to incorrect volume results

    Grid Format

    Learn how to add a grid to the canvas, to provide a visual reference for scale that is useful when reviewing measurements.

    Use Moasure Coach

    Walk within the perimeter, capturing elevation data across the area

    • Use a spiral or zig-zag pattern for best coverage

    • Capture more points in areas with slopes or uneven ground to improve accuracy

  • Once complete, return to your original starting point

    • This helps improve overall accuracy

  • Tap the red stop button to finish the measurement

  • Once the A–B reference walk is complete, the app will automatically switch to Ignore Line
    • This allows you to move freely within the perimeter without affecting it

  • At Point B, change the path type from Ignore Line to Points

    • This creates a new reference point (Point C) at the same location

    • You will return to this point to complete the layer

    Note: You can choose a different location for Point C if needed. If you do, make sure it is clearly marked so you can return to the exact same position to finish the layer.

  • Begin capturing elevation data across the area

    • Move in a spiral or zig-zag pattern

    • Place points wherever the height changes

    • Capture more points in areas with slopes, peaks, or dips for better accuracy

  • As you move, a chequered flag will remain visible to show your return point (Point C), and a dotted line will show your path

  • Once you’ve finished capturing data, return to Point C and capture your final point

    • This closes the loop and helps maintain alignment

    Lay Out Points from Coordinates (Manual, CSV, or CAD Import)

    The Layout measurement type enables you to lay out points on site based on entered coordinates or a saved measurement diagram. It is suited to applications such as landscaping, planning, and general surveying tasks.

    Layout is only available with Moasure 2 PRO devices. If a Moasure 2 PRO is not registered to your account and selected, the Layout feature will be greyed out. . Note that CAD Import is available from Moasure app version 3.2 and above. Please ensure your app is up to date.

    What You Are Importing

    Moasure does not import a drawing or plan. It imports coordinate points (x and y positions).

    Each point represents a location that you will set out in the real world. You are positioning points based on their coordinates, rather than tracing a visual layout.


    Before You Start Layout

    Layout works using relative positioning rather than GPS.

    Your results are guided by:

    • Where your coordinate system starts (origin)

    • Where you begin in the real world

    • How well these align


    Your CAD file contains an origin point (0,0), and all coordinates are measured from this.

    When you begin Layout:

    • Your first placement sets your real-world position

    • Moasure aligns this with your coordinate data

    • All remaining points are calculated relative to this position

    The reference direction is determined from your first movements. If your starting direction is incorrect, the layout may appear rotated or misaligned.


    Moasure uses your first measured position as the starting reference for Layout.

    Keeping your coordinates close to (0,0):

    • Keeps distances smaller and easier to follow

    • Helps maintain clear and consistent guidance during layout


    To help Layout align with your site:

    • Start from a known physical point (such as a building corner)

    • Ensure this point matches the same location in your coordinate data

    • Keep your CAD coordinates local to the area you are working in

    This helps ensure the layout follows your site as expected.


    Before importing your CAD file:

    • Position your layout near (0,0)

    • Choose a clear, identifiable starting point

    • Keep coordinate values relevant to the site

    This makes the layout easier to follow during use.


    This example shows a simple way to begin Layout using a clear reference point.

    Step 1: Identify the Starting Point Locate a fixed point on site that matches your coordinate data (for example, a building corner).

    Step 2: Begin Layout Place Moasure at this point to establish alignment between the site and your coordinates.

    Step 3: Move to the First Point Follow the guidance to the next coordinate position and confirm the point.

    Step 4: Continue Point by Point Repeat this process for each point, maintaining steady movement and consistent placement.


    If something does not look right, it is usually related to alignment.

    Check:

    • Are your coordinates positioned close to (0,0)?

    • Did you begin from the correct physical reference point?

    • Does your starting direction match the intended layout in your coordinate data?

    Once these are aligned, the layout will follow your site more naturally.


    Accurate Layout also depends on how the device is moved and placed.

    • Move at a steady pace and avoid sudden changes in direction

    • Place the device flat and keep it still while confirming a point

    • Avoid pivoting or shifting the device during placement

    Consistent movement and stable placement help ensure each point is recorded accurately.


    1. Open the Moasure app.

    2. Tap the + icon at the bottom of the screen.

    3. Choose Layout.

    Tap the + icon on the Add Coordinates screen to choose your input method.

    You can enter coordinates in three ways:

    1. Import CSV – upload a CSV file containing coordinates.

    2. Import CAD – import points directly from a CAD file.

    3. Enter Manually – type coordinates directly into the app.

    • Tap Import CSV

    • Use your file picker to select a CSV file.

    • File format must include exactly two columns (no headers):

      • Column 1: x-coordinate

    You can view and download an example CSV file below:

    2.2 Import CAD

    • Tap Import CAD.

    • Select a DXF or DWG file.

    • Configure units, tolerance, and duplicate point handling.

    You can view and download an example CAD file below:

    2.3 Enter Manually

    • Tap Enter Manually, then tap + to add a coordinate.

    • Choose:

      • Relative to Origin (from point A), or

      • Relative to Last Point.

    After adding coordinates, you can review, edit, and organise them before starting Layout Mode.

    Other ways to organise your coordinates

    If you prefer, you can still reorder coordinates manually:

    • Drag and drop rows into the desired order.

    • Or:

      1. Tap the Edit icon.

      2. Select a new position number from the dropdown.

    Once you are satisfied with your input, tap Preview. The app will sketch a drawing to help you confirm your data is valid before beginning layout.

    Reference Edge:

    The reference edge is crucial for accurately placing your coordinates. It is defined by the first two captured points:

    • Point A = the origin.

    • Point B = establishes the x-axis together with point A.

    All entered coordinates are positioned relative to this edge, starting from point A.

    The app will prompt you to capture the reference edge before guiding you to your entered coordinates.

    Once complete, tap Continue to proceed.

    Moasure uses your smartphone’s compass to guide you towards your entered coordinates. To ensure accuracy, align your phone with the reference edge - the line between your first two captured points (A and B).

    This step establishes the x and y axes for your layout. Once aligned, tap Done to continue.

    • Follow these steps to lay out your points on site:

      1. Mark the origin (A): Place a marker at your origin point. This should be memorable, as you’ll return to it at the end.

      2. Capture the reference edge (A → B): (This step determines the direction of your layout) Move from A to B at a steady pace, keeping within the green zone of the timer bar. This step sets the reference edge, shown in the bottom-left of your screen.

    Column 2: y-coordinate

    Enter x, y, and optional tolerance radius:

    • 2 cm – high precision (select this for high precision. Ideal when you need to pinpoint an exact location and minimal deviation is crucial).

    • 5 cm – balanced (this is a moderate precision option. It balances accuracy with a wider search area, suitable for general purposes).

    • 10 cm – broadest tolerance (choose this for the lowest precision. This setting covers the broadest area, useful when exact coordinates are less critical and you are looking for general proximity).

    Tap Update.

    Proceed to target points:
    • You’ll be guided to target 1 (the first coordinate from your CSV, CAD, or manual entry).

    • The app uses arrows and a crosshair to show direction.

    • Place the device down within the green zone; avoid abrupt movements.

  • Check placement:

    • If you’re outside the target radius, the app shows a dotted line and distance to the correct position.

    • If you’re inside the radius, the crosshair turns green with a tick. Place a marker at this point.

  • Repeat for all targets: Continue moving from point to point until all coordinates are marked.

  • Return to origin (A): Finish by returning to your starting point.

  • Origin and Starting Position

    Why Keeping Coordinates Close to (0,0) Helps

    What This Means in Practice

    Setup Step

    Example: Setting Out Points from a Building Corner

    If Layout Does Not Look as Expected

    Check Your Technique

    Once your starting point and coordinates are aligned, you are ready to begin Layout.

    1. Select the ‘Layout’ Measurement Type

    2. Inputting Coordinates

    Note that the Optimise Route feature arranges x, y coordinates in the shortest, most logical order to reduce layout time and errors.

    If you have previously added coordinates and used them in a measurement, they will be auto saved and retrievable in the list of files denoted with a CSV icon on the Add Coordinates Screen.

    2.1 Import CSV

    Example File

    The (radius) tolerance has a default setting. You only need to change it if required.

    Note that you can select either Feet or Metres for your coordinates.

    Example File

    When importing CAD files, only the first layer is included. Very large or complex files may slow down performance.

    Note that you can select either Feet or Metres for your coordinates.

    Review and Preview

    Recommended: Use Optimise Route in the Preview stage to automatically arrange your coordinates in the shortest, most logical order. This saves time and reduces the chance of errors when laying out points on site.

    Align Phone with Reference Edge

    Layout uses a reference edge (based on your first two captured points) to establish direction and scale.

    Elevation values (z-axis) are not used for positioning.

    Please note: Moasure does not use GPS. All layout points are positioned relative to your captured reference points using motion-based measurement.

    The app displays an arrow on your screen to guide you towards each target coordinate. The screen auto-rotates to keep orientation correct. If your phone’s sensors behave unpredictably, you can disable auto-rotation by tapping the lock icon in the bottom corner.

    Open/Close

    The Open/Close Tool is used when measuring a closed shape and the start and finish points do not accurately align. Instead of physically adjusting the final point, Moasure estimates the closure based on previous movement data.

    When to Use the Open/Close Tool:

    • Obstructed Areas: If a physical barrier (e.g. water or a wall) prevents reaching the final point.

    • Hazardous Terrain: When reaching the last point poses a safety risk (e.g. steep slopes, construction zones).

    Ignore

    Use the Ignore tool to ignore points in a measurement diagram.

    The Ignore tool enables you to ignore a point as if it was not captured. After a point is ignored, a line is drawn between the point before and after it. This can be useful when you've captured a point to keep your measurement within the time limit, or to navigate an obstacle.

    With app version 3.0 or newer, you can ignore pause points while measuring.

    When your Moasure device is stationary and a pause point is created, the options Label and Ignore will appear on the canvas.

    1. Tap Ignore.

    2. By default, this applies to the current pause point – the solid edge between the previous and current points in your measurement will become a dashed edge, highlighting that the current point is marked as ‘temporary’, and it will not be excluded until you measure another point.

    Edit Background

    The Edit Background tool enables you to add a background image to your measurement.

    The Edit Background tool can be used to show clients or colleagues a visualisation of the measured project relative to a photographed area as the measurement would then lay over the background.

    To add a background to your measurement, follow the steps below:

    1. Tap on Edit in the bottom navigation bar to open the Edit Toolbar.

    2. Tap on Edit Background.

    Connect Moasure Device

    Steps to connect your Moasure device to the Moasure app.

    Measure Circles & Arcs

    Moasure lets you measure circles and arcs with ease. Watch our quick video tutorial to learn how to measure circle radius, diameter, circumference and even calculate area.

    Capture 3 or more points around a circle to measure the radius, diameter, circumference or the area of a circle. Arc Path Type enables you to measure arc length, arc angle and segment area just as easily.

    • Collect at least 3 points on the edge of the circle or arc

    • All points must be on the circumference or the edge of the arc

    Update Firmware
    Turn on using either method:
    • Rotate the device (as above), or

    • Double-tap the device (depending on your settings)

    Your device is now ready to connect.


    In the Moasure app:

    1. Tap Settings → Account & Device Management → Select Device / Add Device

    2. The app will automatically search for nearby devices

    3. When your device appears on the list, tap to connect

    The app will confirm when the device is successfully connected.


    Your Moasure device will remain connected while:

    • The device is powered on

    • Bluetooth is enabled on your phone or tablet

    • The device remains within Bluetooth range

    If the connection is lost, it will automatically reconnect when back in range.


    If your device does not appear during pairing:

    Ensure Bluetooth is turned on in your phone or tablet settings.

    Make sure the Moasure app has permission to use:

    • Bluetooth

    • Location (Android only)

    Repeat the rotation (or double-tap for Moasure ONE) to ensure the device is active.

    Close and reopen the Moasure app to restart the scan.


    Once connected, you’re ready to begin measuring.

    Moasure devices connect to the Moasure app using Bluetooth. Always pair your device inside the Moasure app — pairing will not work through your phone’s Bluetooth settings.

    Closed Shapes: When measuring a closed shape (e.g. a perimeter or boundary) and the start and finish points are slightly misaligned.

    Accuracy Considerations for the Open/Close Tool:

    • Using the Close tool introduces an estimated position, which may result in a higher margin of error compared to capturing the final point directly.

    • For best accuracy, always aim to physically reach the final measurement point whenever possible.

    Using the Open/Close Tool:

    1. Tap on Edit.

    2. Tap on Open/Close to toggle between closing and opening the measurement.

    For best accuracy, Moasure recommends only using the Open/Close Tool when necessary and ensuring measurements are as complete as possible.

    When to Avoid:

    • If an accurate, complete measurement is required.

    • If you can physically move to the final point without issues.

    • When working with measurements that require minimal error.

    The GIF below shows an example of when not to use the Close tool — the start/finish error on this closed shape is 2.0%, which is high enough that we’d recommend starting the measurement again, unless absolute accuracy isn’t important for your project.

  • Continue measuring to the next pause point.

  • When you are stationary and your next pause point has been captured, the ignored point will be greyed out and the dashed edge will disappear. A solid measurement edge will link your current pause point with the previous ‘true’ pause point, bypassing the ignored point in between.

    1. Tap on a specific previous pause point.

    2. Tap Ignore.

    3. The point will be greyed out, and ignored by the measurement edges.

    You can also ignore pause points after completing a measurement:

    1. Tap File.

    2. Tap Open.

    3. Tap to choose a file.

    4. Select the point you want to ignore.

    5. Tap Edit.

    6. Scroll across the options and tap Ignore.

    7. The point will be greyed out, and ignored by the measurement edges.

    If you need to restore an ignored point:

    1. Tap on the ignored point.

    2. Tap Edit.

    3. Tap Unignore.

    This gives you flexibility in refining your measurements, allowing you to ignore and restore points as required.

    Instead of ignoring each point manually, you can also use the Auto Ignore Tool. Auto Ignore automatically ignores points that are on the same line that connects the start and end point.

    Not all points can be ignored – if a point can't be ignored, it will be greyed out in the app and will not be tappable. The following points cannot be ignored:

    • A start point.

    • A finish point.

    • A point that has already been ignored (an ignore point).

    The first and last points of a measurement cannot be ignored – if you ignore a point and then end a measurement before measuring another point, the action will be cancelled.

  • An Image Picker will be shown that enables you to select an image from your phone to use as the background. Once you select an image, it will be uploaded to the app and used as your background.

  • Once you have added an image to your background, you can edit the image. The following image editing tools are available:

    • Rotate (rotates the background image by +90° degrees). To rotate the image, tap on the rotate icon in the right upper toolbar.

    • Zoom (zooms the background image in/out). To zoom, pinch by moving your index finger and thumb up and down).

    • Drag (drags the background image from to the left or right). To drag, tap on the image with your index finger and move it to the left or right.

    • Crop (crops the background image). To crop, tap on the crop icon in the right upper toolbar. White edges appear; anything outside of those edges will be cropped.

    • Change Opacity (changes the opacity / transparency of the background image). To change opacity, tap on the opacity icon in the right upper toolbar and then slide the slider that appears to the desired opacity level.

    • Reset (resets all changes made to the image and measurement drawing, i.e. reverts all changes made since an image was uploaded to the background).

    By default the background image is selected; you can, however, also rotate, drag and zoom the measurement drawing. To do so, select the measurement drawing by tapping on the measurement icon in the right bottom. You can then rotate, drag and zoom the measurement drawing relative to the background image by using touch gestures. You can always switch back to the background image again to continue editing the background image.

    Lay Out Points Based on a Saved Measurement Diagram

    In Layout Mode, Moasure will guide you to specified points via the Moasure app, enabling the identification of locations and markings.

    In addition to being able to Lay Out Points Based on Entered Coordinates, you can start laying out directly from a saved measurement.

    An optional ‘Optimise Route’ feature arranges x, y coordinates in the most logical order and shortest distance for you to reduce layout time and errors.

    Starting Layout Mode from a Saved Measurement

    In the Moasure app, tap File > Open, and then open a folder if needed. Once you’ve found your measurement diagram, tap the three vertical dots and select Start Layout Mode.

    This will open your measurement diagram directly in Layout Mode, where you can preview the area shape you want to set out.

    If the Start Layout Mode option is greyed out, it means either the selected measurement isn’t compatible with Layout Mode, or you do not have a Moasure 2 PRO linked to your app.

    APIs

    Moasure supports partner integrations through an App Links (Deep Link) API that enables approved partners to integrate directly with the Moasure mobile app.

    This integration can allow a partner app to:

    • Launch the Moasure app from within their workflow

    • Automatically start a measurement

    • Return the user to the partner app when complete

    • Pass relevant measurement data back for processing

    Access to integration capabilities is provided to approved partners.

    If you would like to register interest in future integration capabilities, please apply using the form above.

    Extrapolate Corner

    The Extrapolate Corner tool will intelligently extrapolate a corner for you based on the angles of the measurement segments. This is useful when you cannot get into a corner during measurement.

    If you’re unable to access the corner of a room or a garden, you can use the ‘Extrapolate Corner’ tool when your measurement is complete, and the Moasure app will do the job for you.

    See an example below:

    Let’s say we want to calculate the area and perimeter of a garden, but we are unable to reach one of the corners as there is an obstacle on our way.

    1. Capture at least two points on each wall/line leading into and out of the extrapolated corner.

    Master Edit Tools

    Master Edit Tools help you refine, correct and enhance measurements after capture. These tools allow you to adjust geometry, add detail and improve measurement presentation.

    Measure Volume as Layers

    Moasure supports adding volume as an additional layer, allowing you to return to a site later and measure volume based on a previously recorded perimeter. This is especially helpful for landscaping, turfing, or excavation projects where you capture the surface first and the volume at a later time.

    Before You Begin

    • Ensure your original measurement includes a clear, straight A–B reference edge.

    • Mark Point A and Point B with visible markers (such as flags or cones) so you can easily return to them for alignment.

    • It’s also recommended to mark your initial surface area starting point (Point C) so you can return to the same position when capturing volume data.

    1. Open your saved measurement, then tap the Layers icon.

    2. Tap Add Layer.

    3. Return to Point A, then walk to Point B to retrace the reference edge - look for the black alignment line on screen.

    4. Moasure will switch to Ignore Line mode, letting you walk freely to your starting point inside the perimeter (mark this as

    • Tap 3D Mesh view to see volume calculations.

    • Choose between:

      • Lowest Point Plane – uses the lowest elevation as base (great for holes and excavations).

      • Perimeter Plane – uses the outer edge elevation as base (ideal for stockpiles or raised areas).

    To access more tools, tap Edit, then:

    • – estimate how much material to add or remove to level the surface.

    • – calculate volume below the surface; perfect for planning excavations.

    Import Moasure CSV Data into Uvision (Realtime Landscaping Architect)

    A step by step guide on how to import Moasure data into Uvision.

    Moasure’s measurement data can be imported into Uvision using Moasure’s CSV exports in conjunction with Uvision’s Terrain Elevation Import Wizard. This wizard enables mapping Moasure’s format with Uvision’s. Here's a step-by-step guide:

    1. Export the Data from Moasure:

    • Open the measurement you want to import using the Moasure app.

    • Tap "File" > "Export," then select "CSV."

    • Configure the export settings by choosing what data to include. For a simpler import, switch off all toggles except “Include Column Heading.”

    2. Open the Import Wizard in Uvision:

    • Open Uvision, go to the "Tools" menu, and select "Terrain Elevation Import Wizard."

    • Click "Next" to proceed.

    3. Match the Columns:

    • When prompted to specify which columns contain the X, Y, and Z data, select "manual" instead of the default "automatically determine."

    • Match Moasure CSV columns with Uvision's as follows:

    • Start Column: Choose the column containing X coordinates (note this should not be path or point, which the public csv file starts with). It should be the X column.

    • Order of XYZ Data: Select X, Y, Z as the required order.

    4. Choose Contour Intervals:

    • Set the contour interval to your preference, like 6 inches or another suitable interval.

    After completing these steps, your Moasure data should import smoothly into Uvision.

    Gradually rotate your Moasure device over the course of moving from one point to another. Avoid suddenly rotating the device.

    Getting Started

    If you’ve just received your Moasure device, you’re in the right place. This guide will help you get set up and begin measuring, while building confidence with the core techniques.

    This short video introduces how Moasure's technology works and the key techniques you’ll use to measure accurately.

    How Moasure's Technology Works

    Moasure devices work differently to traditional measuring tools. Traditional tools measure directly between two fixed points. Moasure ONE and Moasure 2 Series measure as you move between points, capturing distance and elevation changes as you go.

    As you walk with your device, it continuously tracks its position and builds your measurement. You create each point by placing the device, then move to the next point to record the measurement.

    This means you can move around a space to capture distances, areas, and shapes — even when you can’t measure in a straight line.

    You don’t need to stretch a tape or maintain line of sight. Simply move from point to point, pausing briefly to confirm each position. Think of it as drawing your measurement by walking it.

    With a little practice, this becomes a natural and efficient way to measure — especially for irregular or complex spaces.

    • If using Moasure STICK, assemble it before you start


    When you’re ready, continue with:

    Assemble & Use Moasure STICK

    This page covers how to assemble the STICK and how to use it correctly with your Moasure device.

    What’s Included

    Your Moasure STICK consists of the following components:

    • Foam-lined housing for your Moasure device

    • Expandable smartphone holder

    Master Placement

    Correct placement is essential for accurate measurements with Moasure.

    Watch this tutorial to learn how to place the device correctly, hold Moasure STICK for maximum control, and apply the best placement techniques on grass and other uneven terrain.

    Every time you place the device completely still, Moasure captures a measurement point.

    Moving, sliding, rocking or lifting the device before the point has been captured can reduce measurement accuracy.

    The goal isn't to place the device slowly. It's to move confidently between pause points, then place the device quickly but gently and allow it to become completely still before moving again.

    To achieve the best results:

    • Hold Moasure STICK between your thumb and first two fingers

    Inspect Points and Edges

    When using a Moasure device, it's important to understand the three-dimensional coordinate system that helps you measure and map out spaces. This system is based on three axes: x, y, and z, along with angle measurements. Each measurement consists of Points and Edges. Points are locations where you've paused, and edges are the lines that connect these points.

    Moasure technology uses the Cartesian coordinate system to define spatial relationships and measurements. Your starting reference point (the origin) is your initial position where:

    All subsequent measurements will relate to this starting point.

    The first two measured points define the x-axis.

    Units: Ensure this is set to the right unit matching the export units set in Moasure.

      • Pivot and adjust the smartphone holder angle as required.

      • Tighten the adjustor screw knob by turning clockwise to secure the holder.

    1. Insert Your Moasure Device:

      • When inserting your device into Moasure STICK's cushioned housing, avoid holding the STICK itself to prevent bending and stress on the flexible joint. Instead, turn the STICK upside down and hold the housing, ensuring the LED is visible when looking from above.

      • Ensure to align your Moasure device evenly within the housing during insertion.

    Your Moasure STICK is now fully assembled and ready for use.

    Before measuring, enable Moasure STICK in the app so measurements are taken from the correct reference point.

    • Open Settings (cog icon in the bottom-right corner of the app)

    • Tap Measuring Options

    • Toggle Use Moasure STICK Attachment to On

    The reference point is normally at the corner of the device. When Moasure STICK is enabled, this shifts to the tip of the STICK attachment, ensuring all measurements reflect the true contact point with the ground.

    Once enabled, use Moasure STICK as part of your normal measuring technique:

    • Move smoothly between points

    • Keep the STICK steady and upright

    • Avoid sudden movements or excessive swinging

    • Pause briefly at each point to confirm position

    Using a light grip and controlled movement will help improve consistency and overall accuracy.


    To use Moasure STICK comfortably, adjust the height so your hand sits around waist level, with your forearm roughly horizontal as you walk.

    Hold the STICK between your thumb and two fingers, maintaining a light grip to minimise any swinging while moving.

    Moasure Accuracy

    Learn how Moasure devices measure, what affects accuracy, and how to achieve the best possible results.

    How Moasure Technology Works

    Moasure devices measure continuously while you move (device is in flight), capturing position data hundreds of times per second using advanced motion sensors.

    A measurement point is only confirmed when the device is placed completely still.


    How Accuracy Works

    With motion-based measuring:

    Error increases with time, not distance.

    This means:

    • The longer you move without pausing, the more error can build

    • Regular pauses help maintain accuracy

    • Smooth, controlled movement improves results


    Accuracy is influenced by how the device is used:

    • Movement speed and consistency

    • How well the device is placed and held still

    • Frequency of pause points

    • Surface stability (e.g. soft or uneven ground)


    Measurement Type
    Moasure ONE
    Moasure 2
    Moasure 2 PRO

    Accuracy will vary depending on device handling, environment, and user technique.

    Layout measurements are available on Moasure 2 PRO only.


    • If your linear distance measurement totals 300ft, accuracy is within ±0.3%, resulting in a potential error of up to 0.9ft.

    • If your perimeter measurement totals 300ft, accuracy is within ±0.5%, resulting in a potential error of up to 1.5ft.

    • If your elevation measurement totals 300ft, accuracy is within ±0.3%, resulting in a potential error of up to 0.9ft.


    • If your linear distance measurement totals 100m, accuracy is within ±0.3%, resulting in a potential error of up to 0.3m.

    • If your perimeter measurement totals 100m, accuracy is within ±0.5%, resulting in a potential error of up to 0.5m.

    • If your elevation measurement totals 100m, accuracy is within ±0.3%, resulting in a potential error of up to 0.3m.


    To achieve the best results, focus on these three key :

    Move at a steady, controlled speed between pause points.

    Place the device down flat and completely still.

    Rotate smoothly and avoid sudden movements.


    After completing a measurement, review your Start/Finish error:

    • Lower percentage = higher accuracy

    • Aim for under 1% where possible

    If the error is higher than expected, use to understand what affected your accuracy and how to improve.

    Moasure Coach highlights specific parts of your measurement and provides guidance on:

    • Where accuracy dropped

    • What caused it (e.g. movement, placement, timing)

    • How to correct it in your next measurement

    Improve your technique and remeasure for better results.


    Key Tips

    • Pause regularly and stay within the green zone

    • Remember: error increases with time, not distance

    • Place your Moasure device flat and completely still at each pause point

    • Move and rotate smoothly with steady control

    Measure Playgrounds

    In this guide, we're going to go through the measurement planning and measurement of a play area.

    Playgrounds usually comprise of a fenced off perimeter for safety purposes and several play items (with their own boundary) within that perimeter. We can use to measure both the outline and the inner areas and view them relative to each other and view the square meters separately for each. We however don't have to use layers if we're only interested in one area (e.g. the outline) or if we're not interested in viewing the individual area calculations of the inner structures. We can always add more layers to a measurement afterwards.

    Here's a comprehensive tutorial showing how to measure a playground using Moasure:

    We're going to measure up the playground below. We will use Layers to capture the individual areas. It comprises of:

    1. A perimeter (not fenced-off).

    Turn Device On and Off

    Learn how to power your Moasure device on.

    With STICK: Raise the STICK and hold it out horizontally in front of you, then rotate it 180° back and forth until the LED indicator starts flashing blue.

    Without STICK: Hold the device between your thumb and index finger, keep it vertical, and rotate it 180° until the LED indicator starts flashing blue.

    With STICK: Place the STICK on a flat, solid surface, then double-tap the top corner of your Moasure ONE where the LED indicator is located.

    Without STICK: Hold the Moasure ONE in the palm of your hand and double-tap the centre of the green circle to turn it on.

    Moasure ONE supports both double-tap and rotate-to-turn-on (firmware v1.28 or later).

    3D Terrain Mapping & Volume Measurements

    Several elevated areas that house the toys (e.g. swing, sea-saw, locomotive)

  • Some pathways.

  • Playground

    We're going to start by measuring the separate structures that house the toys. We will use Closed Shape as the Measurement Type and Straight Line as the Path Type as the areas don't have curvatures. With Layers, we have to remember the first 2 points of our initial measurement layer (the Base Layer). When we add a new layer, we have to go back to the start of the first point of the Base Layer and then to the second point of the Base Layer before we start measuring our Second Layer. This is required to correctly orient the measurement layers in relation to each other. Once we have captured the two reference points, we can walk to the start of our Second Layer (this will automatically be set to Ignore Line so that the path is not actually captured). The app will prompt you to go to the start and second point of the base layer each time you start a new layer measurement. It's recommended to place something in/on the ground to remember the two points.

    Once the structures are measured, we're going to measure the perimeter using a combination of different Path Types to suit the required shapes.

    Measure Pools

    Moasure provides an accurate and efficient way to measure swimming pool perimeters, from standard rectangular pools to more complex curved or freeform designs. By selecting the appropriate path types and applying correct measuring technique, you can achieve accurate and consistent results across a wide range of pool shapes.

    Tutorial 1: Measuring Straight-Edged Pools (Including Arc Corners)

    This method is ideal for pools with straight sides, such as rectangular pools or those with curved Roman or Grecian-style corners. The process involves a combination of straight lines and arc measurements.

    Step-by-Step Overview

    1. Select Closed Shape Measurement Type In the Moasure app, tap the + icon and choose Closed Shape Measurement to begin.

    2. Power on the Device To , raise the Moasure device vertically and gently rotate it 180° back and forth until the LED flashes blue and then red.

    3. Start from a Clear Reference Point Place the device at a defined point on the pool edge, aligning the carefully for consistent results.

    4. Straight Line Path Begin by walking along straight edges of the pool using the Straight Line .

      • Walk at a steady pace.

      • Pause halfway along long edges to split the line into shorter, more accurate segments.

    5. Measure Arc Corners When approaching curved corners, switch to the Arc path type.

      • Place the device at three points: the start, middle, and end of the curve.

      • Moasure will automatically generate a best-fit arc.

    6. Bypass Obstacles Use the Straight Line path to walk around handrails or other features while maintaining accurate perimeter calculations. This path type measures the straight-line distance between two points, regardless of the route you take - meaning you don’t need a clear line of sight. You can walk around obstacles and Moasure will still record a clean, linear measurement from point A to point B.

    7. Complete the Measurement Finish at your original starting point and tap the red stop icon to close the shape.

      • The app will instantly display perimeter and area values.

      • A error of 1% or lower is considered an accurate measurement.


    This method is best for pools with kidney shapes, circular designs, or those with varying edge contours. Moasure’s flexible path types allow you to accurately follow curves and navigate around obstacles.

    Step-by-Step Overview

    1. Plan Before You Begin Take a moment to review the pool’s shape, identify obstacles, and decide which path types will be required.

    2. Start with Arc or Trace Line

      • Use Arc path when measuring defined curves or when obstacles (like handrails) prevent a direct trace.

      • Use

    Measure a Golf Course

    Moasure is a powerful tool for measuring golf courses, including fairways, greens, pathways, and bunkers. Using motion-based technology, it captures accurate distances, elevations, and volumes, making complex measurements simple and efficient. This guide outlines the key steps for measuring a golf course effectively.

    Getting Started

    • Set Moasure to your preferred unit (metric or imperial) in the app settings.

    • Choose an accessible starting point and mark it as Point A, with Point B at a sufficient distance for accuracy.

    • Use markers (e.g., golf balls, flags) to easily identify the points.

    1. Starting the Measurement:

      • Begin at Point A and walk briskly to Point B.

      • Maintain a consistent pace and ensure the stick glides smoothly through the air without swinging or abrupt movements before placing it down quickly but gently.

    2. Navigating Terrain:

    • Each new starts at Point A and follows the same measurement principles.

    • Layers can include additional course elements like bunkers, greens, or pathways.

    • Save progress after each layer to prevent data loss.

    • Winding Pathways: Walk consistently, pausing every 6-8 seconds to capture accurate elevation data.

    • Bunkers & Volume Measurements: Use the Trace Line to capture the perimeter. To measure volume, use the type and follow a zig-zag for rectangular shapes or a spiral pattern for oval shapes.

    • Use the to visualise elevation changes.

    • Tap any point to see the X, Y and Z values and any selected edge to view the length, rise, and run data.

    • :

      • Tap Edit > Edit Background > Add Image to overlay an aerial view.

      • Adjust size, rotation, and opacity as needed.

    • :

    • Access the tool to estimate material volumes for excavation or filling.

    • Adjust the depth slider to calculate precise cut, fill, and net values.

    • Once all measurements are finalised, tap File > to save in formats like PDF, DWG, DXF, or MFiles.

    • Share data easily via email or with Moasure app users.

    Using Moasure, capturing accurate measurements of complex shapes like golf course bunkers, greens, and winding pathways becomes seamless and efficient, saving time while providing reliable data for your projects.

    Measuring Time / Accuracy

    Understanding how time affects your measurement is key to achieving accurate results with a Moasure device.

    This setting is only available with Moasure 2 PRO.

    How Time Affects Accuracy

    Moasure devices measure continuously while you move, capturing data hundreds of times per second.

    Accuracy is confirmed when the device is placed completely still.

    Error increases with time, not distance.

    This means:

    • The longer you move without pausing, the more error can build

    • Regular pauses help to maintain accuracy


    You can choose between two measurement modes depending on your priority:

    • Pause every 6–8 seconds

    • Always pause in the green zone (no later than amber)

    • Best for achieving the most accurate results


    • Pause every 12–16 seconds

    • Always pause in the green zone (no later than amber)

    • Allows longer movement between points

    • Results in reduced accuracy compared to Highest Accuracy

    For the best results, focus on these three key techniques:

    Pace Walk at a steady, controlled pace between pause points while measuring.

    Placement Place the device down quickly and gently, without hovering.

    Rotation Rotate the device smoothly, avoiding sudden or abrupt movements.


    To change your measuring mode:

    1. Tap the cog icon in the bottom-right corner of the app

    2. Tap Measuring Options

    3. Tap Measuring Time

    4. Select your preferred mode

    Measure Elevation

    Moasure captures elevation automatically – there's no need to select a special mode or change settings.

    Moasure devices use high-performance inertial sensors to record changes in their own position as they move from one point to another. After your measurement is complete, simply tap on any point in the app where the Z value displays the elevation changes from your starting point.

    From the moment you start a measurement, Moasure begins tracking its movement in three-dimensional space using high-performance inertial sensors. These sensors record hundreds of data points per second as the device moves. When you pause and place your Moasure device down, the app uses advanced algorithms to calculate the position and records an accurate data point with X, Y, and Z values.

    The Z value represents elevation, and all coordinates are calculated relative to the origin – the first point you record, which is always set as (X:0, Y:0, Z:0). Every subsequent point is shown in relation to this starting position – whether you move uphill (positive elevation) or downhill (negative elevation).

    This means that as you move around a space – for example, measuring the complete perimeter of a garden – Moasure not only captures the linear distance between each point, but also the elevation or height at every pause. The app then calculates the overall perimeter and area (or square footage), giving you both horizontal measurements and a 3D understanding of the space.

    You can view elevation changes in several ways within the Moasure app:

    Tap any point in your measurement to display its exact X, Y, Z coordinates.

    Cross-Section View – Tap the green “Cross Section” button and select any two points to see rise, run, slope, gradient, and angle between them.

    – Shows your measurement path in three dimensions.

    affect how elevation is recorded:

    Straight Line – Elevation is captured only at each pause point. Any changes in height between those points (while the device is moving) are not recorded. Use this for measuring a single gradient between two key positions.

    Trace Line – Elevation is recorded continuously throughout the movement. This shows exactly how the device moved up or down between each pause point. Ideal for tracking uneven terrain or ramps.

    Points – Elevation is captured at each pause point, similar to Straight Line, but intended for creating a full surface profile. Often used for volume calculations or cut-and-fill comparisons.

    Elevation tracking with Moasure is used across many industries:

    Landscaping & Site Prep – Understand gradients and contouring for accurate earthworks Construction & Drainage – Ensure correct slope and fall Design & Surveying – Generate 3D site layouts and cross-sections

    With Moasure, measuring elevation is effortless – just move, pause, and let the app do the rest.

    Update Firmware

    Understand Measurement Types

    When you open your Moasure app you will be presented with a screen asking you to tap ‘+’ (the plus icon) to begin your measurement.

    Once you tap ‘+’ (the plus icon) in the bottom centre of the Moasure app, you will see a list of available Measurement Types. Here you will be able to decide which measurement type is right for your project. Choose from Closed Shape, Open Shape, Layout, Point to Point, or Angle.

    Note that Layout is exclusive to Moasure 2 PRO.

    By default, Moasure always calculates distance, any elevation change and angle in all measurement types. However, depending on what you're measuring, some Measurement Types may be more efficient than others.

    Closed Shape

    Closed Shape is a measurement type used for calculating the area, perimeter, elevation and distance of a shape and requires the measurement to start and finish at the exact same point. Therefore, it's essential to remember your starting point, be it a corner, a stone, or a reference marker.

    This method proves particularly valuable for tasks such as measuring lawns, yards, staircases, driveways and pools, as it efficiently computes square footage or square metres.

    When using the Closed Shape measurement, the START – FINISH ERROR is displayed as a percentage, such as 0.8%. This percentage represents the deviation between the measurement's start and finish points. A lower percentage indicates closer alignment between these points, serving as an indicator of measurement accuracy and facilitating precise estimates of square footage or square metres.

    If the error is below 1%, your measurement is considered reliable and accurate. If it exceeds 1%, the integrated will offer valuable feedback on improving your measuring technique.

    Open Shape is a measurement type that eliminates the need for calculating square footage or square metres. This method proves particularly useful for measuring distances or elevation changes, making it well-suited for tasks such as measuring fencing, walls, or the length of pipe and cable runs. Additionally, Open Shape measurements can be applied to the sides of structures such as buildings or gazebos.

    Layout Mode, exclusive to , simplifies setting or laying out measurements. Users can upload or input coordinates, and Moasure guides them to specified points for accurate positioning and marking.

    Point to Point measurement is a swift and efficient method for measuring distances or changes in elevation. Once you initiate a Point to Point measurement, your Moasure device calculates the distance between your first and second point. Each time you move and pause by placing your Moasure device down and keeping it still, the app will re-calculate the distance between the measurement's first point and the current point. Use Point to Point when you want to find the distance or change in elevation/gradient/rise and fall between two points.

    Angle measurements determine the amount of rotation or separation between two points, either on the same surface or between different surfaces. Expressed in degrees, this provides a quantitative measure of inclination or deviation.

    • Surf (Surface Angle): Measures the angle between two flat surfaces. Place the Moasure device on one surface, then move it to the other surface. The measured angle reflects the difference between these two planes.

    • Lines (Rotational Angle): Measures the rotation of the device between two points on the same surface. This is useful for assessing the angular difference when rotating the device between two positions.

    Summary

    In summary, the Moasure app offers various measurement types for different projects, from calculating areas, perimeters and elevation changes with Closed Shape to measuring distances and elevation changes with Open Shape, Layout, Point to Point, and Angle.

    Add Depth

    In this guide, you will learn how to use the Add Depth Tool, which enables you to calculate the amount of material needed to cover a site with a specific added depth.

    The Add Depth Tool is available in app version 2.0 and upwards. If you are on an older app version, you will need to update the app to access this feature.

    The Add Depth Tool can be used to add custom depth to a site. This can be useful for scenarios such as calculating how many cubic metres of mulch to add to a sloped garden. The volume is calculated by multiplying the added depth by the surface area (which is the sum of areas of all the faces of the three-dimensional figure). The surface area changes when adding depth as it copies the surface and moves that up or down. The resulting volume calculation is based on a vertical projection to the copied surface set at the new level.

    The Add Depth Tool can be useful for gardeners or landscapers planning mulching material application. It's also useful for hardscapers preparing foundations or base layers for pavements or patios. Let’s say a landscaper wants to know how much mulch he needs to add to cover a garden site at a depth of 6 inches (~15 cm), or a hardscaper wants to create a 6 inch (~15 cm) deep aggregate base layer for paving or concrete. They can calculate the volume of material required by taking the surface area and multiplying it by 6 inches (~15 cm). The Add Depth Tool makes this easy by pre-calculating the surface area and providing tools (such as a slider) to specify a depth, resulting in a volume calculation.

    There's a recommended way to measure volume. Learn more in our .

    How to Use the Add Depth Tool To use the Add Depth Tool, follow the steps below:

    1. Open the app and tap on Edit.

    2. Select Add Depth

    This will take you to the Add Depth Screen, where you'll find:

    • The volume after adding depth (initially set to 0).

    • The depth you've added.

    As you adjust the slider, you'll see the volume change in response to the added depth value. The volume calculation is based on a vertical projection to a copied surface set at the new level. In simpler terms, it's the added depth multiplied by the surface area, where the surface area is the total area of all the faces of the three-dimensional figure.

    For example, if you wish to determine how many cubic meters of mulch to add, the resulting volume calculated by this tool will provide you with that value.

    Measure Decking

    Simplify Decking Measurements

    Here's a comprehensive tutorial that will take you through how to accurately measure a proposed or existing decking area, complete with area, volume, and elevation changes for surface leveling.

    Use these points as a guide to measure for new decking:

    • Choose a memorable starting point, then tap on the + icon and select ‘Closed Shape’.

    • Once the LED indicator changes from red to green, the first point is captured and you can move to the next point.

    • If you need to change path type, you can do this while stationary at a pause point.

    • Curves are common with decking and for established curve measurements, we recommend using the Arc path type rather than Trace Line. For an Arc, capture a minimum of three points – at the start, middle, and end. On your third measurement, the app will display the best-fit arc.

    • Once the perimeter measurement is complete and you have returned to the original starting point, you can then capture the surface area of the shape.

    • To collect grade changes, select the Points path type and zigzag across the area, gathering enough points to accurately capture the varying grades or elevations, which will assist in leveling the site using the cut-and-fill feature.

    • Finish the measurement by returning to the perimeter starting point for increased accuracy – tap on the red icon to stop measuring.

    • Change to 3D cube view to visualize the elevation, or tap the 3D surface icon to view the surface area and volume.

    • Tap ‘Edit’ > ‘Cut / Fill’ > ‘Net’, and set the net fill as zero to see how to level the site ready for decking without bringing in or removing any material.

    Use these points as a guide to measure for existing decking:

    • Clear any easy-to-move obstacles before you begin measuring, and assess any immovable obstructions.

    • Choose a memorable starting point, then tap the + icon and select ‘Closed Shape’.

    • Select an appropriate path type and measure the perimeter of the decking area, pausing regularly – remember to use ‘Trace Line’ if you are measuring an irregular shape, as you can follow the exact curves of the decking edge.

    • If there is an inaccessible corner, you can use the ‘Extrapolate Corner’ feature to measure into it – simply capture two measurement points, before and after the corner, then revisit this once you have finished your measurement.

    When you have a complete measurement diagram for your new or existing decking area, you can export as a PDF, image file, DXF, DWG or CSV straight into CAD software, to continue planning your decking project.

    Calculate Area of Layers

    The Area Calculator simplifies and speeds up the process of calculating the net area between your layers. It’s especially useful when you need to determine the usable space between defined areas, such as:

    • Landscaping areas minus planting beds

    • Playground surfaces excluding pathways

    • A pool area subtracted from a surrounding deck

    A minimum of two layers with area measurements are required for the calculator to function.

    How to Use the Area Calculator

    1. Open the Area Calculator

    2. Tap Layers to display a list of your measurement’s layers.

    3. Tap Area Calculator at the top of the screen.

    • Area is displayed below the layer name.

    • The Net Area between layers is displayed at the bottom.

    • Using your finger or thumb, press and move to drag and drop a layer into the Subtracted Layers section.

    Measure Tree or Sprinkler Locations on a Lawn

    Trees, sprinklers and other locations within a lawn or open space can be measured using Moasure.

    There are two ways to capture these locations:

    • Using a single measurement

    • By measuring the lawn first and then adding a

    Both methods are explained below.


    Measure Perimeter and Area

    Your First Measurement

    Learn how to measure the area, perimeter, and handle curves and obstacles using your Moasure device.

    • Clear debris: Remove any obstacles from key placement points.

    • Choose a starting point: Pick a memorable location (e.g., a corner) to start and finish your measurement.

    Measure a Yard or Garden

    In this guide you will learn how to plan and measure gardens with Moasure.

    In this video tutorial, learn how to use the 'Layers', 'Ignore' and 'Extrapolate Corner' features to measure an irregular-shaped yard full of tricky obstacles, using the Moasure device without using a STICK.

    Start by walking around the site, clearing objects out of the way where possible, and identifying suitable placement areas. In tricky terrain, it can be easier to use the Moasure device without the STICK, as it enables you to avoid accidental impacts that could affect measurement accuracy; to , go to Settings, tap Measuring Options, then under Other, tap 'Use Moasure Stick Attachment' then tap 'No'.

    To start measuring, open the Moasure app and tap the + icon – once it turns red, place the device at a memorable starting point. The will be ‘Straight Line’, unless you have already changed this in your Settings – you can change path type now and also when stationary at a pause point. When the LED indicator turns from red to green, move at pace to the next point and place the Moasure device down quickly, gently aligning the reference point with the edge.

    If an obstacle stops you from placing the Moasure device in the desired location, you can pause in a more accessible location instead, then ignore this point once the measurement is complete. Additionally, if there are any inaccessible corners in your yard like in the video, you can use the tool once your measurement is complete – in order to do this, make sure you capture at least two points on each side leading into the corner. Finish capturing the perimeter of the site, returning to the original starting point to complete the measurement; to end the measurement, tap the red stop icon, then tap ‘File’ and ‘Save’.

    Measure Buildings

    In these two video tutorials, learn how to capture the footprint of a building using Moasure, by measuring its outer perimeter using the Wall path type.

    Open the Moasure app, tap on the green + icon, then select ‘Closed Shape’ – this means you’ll be capturing the perimeter and area of the outer footprint of the building. Turn on your device, then when the LED indicator turns red, place your Moasure at a memorable starting point on the wall, holding it between two fingers and your thumb, and swipe across in the app to select the 'Wall' path type.

    When the LED indicator turns green, the Moasure device has captured your starting point, and you can move smoothly but quickly to your next pause point. Walk around the perimeter of the building, making sure you pause within the green zone each time, and no later than the amber zone. There is no need to measure the start and end of each wall, as the device will automatically extrapolate to the corner as long as you capture a measurement on each wall face, but do avoid placing the device on uneven surfaces whenever possible to maintain accuracy.

    If an obstacle appears, simply walk around it. Place the device flat on the floor when you pause as you maneuver around the obstruction, and these points will be automatically ignored while in the Wall path type. When you get back to the building you’re measuring, return the device to the plane of the wall and your measurement diagram will continue from where you left off.

    When you get back to where you started, finish the measurement with your Moasure device in exactly the same place – tap on the red stop icon to end the measurement, and the perimeter and area of your building will appear.

    Colour Layers

    You can apply colours to layers and folders using a colour picker, hex code, or preset palette. Colouring layers is useful for:

    • Defining key zones within your measurement diagram

    • Helping you visualise spaces more clearly

    • Aligning your measurements with your brand

    Use Cases

    Start by measuring the lawn perimeter as a closed shape.

  • Return to the start point without ending the measurement.

    • Change the path type to Points Path.

    • Move toward the first tree or sprinkler location.

    • Place the device at the required position and wait for confirmation.

    • Repeat until all locations are captured.

    If a location cannot be reached within the recommended 6–8 second movement time, switch temporarily to Ignore Path while moving and stop as needed along the route.

    Any intermediate stops will be marked as Ignore Points so they can be visually distinguished from measured locations.

    You can also ignore points after measurement if required.

    • End the measurement once all tree or sprinkler locations are marked.


    • Start by measuring the lawn perimeter.

    • Return to the start point.

    • End the measurement.

    • Tap the Layers icon in the lower-right corner of the app.

    • Tap Add Layer.

    You will be prompted to place the device at the shared origin, which is the start point of the first measurement layer.

    Once the device is stationary at the shared origin, the app will guide you to move along the original starting edge.

    These steps allow Moasure and the app to align the new layer with the original measurement so both layers share the same position and orientation.

    During this alignment process, the app temporarily uses Ignore Path before prompting you to begin measuring the new layer.

    • Change the path type to Points Path.

    • Move toward the first tree or sprinkler location.

    • Place the device at the required position and wait for confirmation.

    • Repeat until all locations are captured.

    If a location cannot be reached within the recommended 6–8 second movement time, switch temporarily to Ignore Path while moving.

    Any intermediate stops will be marked as Ignore Points so they can be visually distinguished from measured locations.

    You can also ignore points after measurement if required.

    • End the measurement once all locations are marked.


    When using a single measurement, both the lawn perimeter and location points appear within the same layer.

    When using Layers, the lawn perimeter and location points appear on separate layers.

    Layers can be shown or hidden as required, making larger or more complex projects easier to manage.

    Tap any point, whether on the perimeter layer or points layer, to view its X, Y and Z coordinates.

    You can also label or annotate points to make tree, sprinkler or feature locations easier to identify later.

    Labels and annotations can improve clarity when reviewing, sharing or exporting measurements.

    If you wish to display coordinates on a PDF export, points must be labelled before exporting.

    Coordinates from Points Path or Ignore Path that are not labelled will not appear on the PDF.

    You can label or annotate locations such as trees, sprinklers or landscape features to make them easier to identify later and when sharing measurements.

    If coordinate visibility on the PDF is not required, you may skip labelling and the points will still appear visually within the drawing.

    If points are labelled:

    • Their coordinates appear on the PDF export

    • Labels appear within the Labelled Points section of the PDF

    • Point locations become easier to identify and reference later

    • Use Ignore Path when moving between distant locations

    • Label points before exporting if coordinates are required on a PDF

    • Allow each point to fully confirm before moving again


    Once complete:

    • Tree and sprinkler locations appear within the drawing

    • Coordinates can be viewed in the app

    • Labels and annotations help identify locations more easily

    • Labelled points can be displayed on PDF exports

    Pro Tips

    You can now edit your measurement diagram using the app tools. Use the Ignore tool to remove any irrelevant points – simply tap the selected point, tap edit, scroll to the right and select the ignore tool. This will remove the selected point as if it wasn't captured. Once the point is ignored, the app will automatically connect the points before and after it, creating an adjusted line. To extrapolate a corner, firstly, remove any extra pause points using the ‘Ignore’ method, then tap on the diagonal line to highlight the selected edge, tap edit, scroll across and tap ‘Ext. Corner’, which will add in the missing corner based on the angles of the measurement segments. Once you have the yard's true perimeter and area, save the updated measurement by either overwriting the existing file or saving it as a new file.

    To capture another layer, tap on Layers in the bottom-right corner of the app, then tap ‘Add Layer’. Return to the shared origin, which is where you started measuring the yard’s perimeter, then capture a second point along this same edge – the path type will automatically switch to Ignore Line. Change the path type to suit the next layer, whether that’s Trace Line, Arc or Wall Mode, remembering to rename and save each additional layer.

    Once all your layers have been measured and your measurement diagram is complete, tap File, Export and select your chosen file format.

    For this guide, we're measuring a garden of approximately 12 x 8 meters. If we plan to stop every 6 meters, which will be approximately every 6 seconds, we will expect to stop approximately 16 times. Another part of planning is thinking about what Path Type(s) we will be using. If the garden is rectangular, we can use Straight Line. If our garden features any curves, however, we need to use Trace Line so we can capture the curved edges. If our garden has edges that are straight at some places and curved at others, we can use a combination of straight and trace lines. We can change the Path Type at the start of the measurement and after each pause point (the point at which we place the device down). Last but not least, we need to consider any objects that might be in our way, so that we can plan ahead how best to avoid them. If we use Straight Line, we can walk around an object and our movement will not be captured, as Moasure will draw a straight line between the pause points – this can be useful when navigating large obstacles, as we can select 'Ignore Line' while measuring or ignore a pause point once the measurement is complete, depending on the application. If we use Trace Line, however, the device will capture our exact movement.

    Bear in mind that ignored paths cannot be labelled, so if you're interested in labelling where an object starts and ends, you may want to use Straight Line to capture the length of the object, then label where the object starts and ends. Learn more about Labeling in our Edit Label Guide.

    We're going to use the Closed Shape Measurement Type, as we will be starting and ending at the same point, and because we're interested in getting the square footage of the garden. Square feet can only be seen when using the Closed Shape Measurement Type. There are no curvatures in the outline of the garden, so we used Straight Line for each Path.

    Measuring Technique

    Measure Around Obstacles

    Learn how to measure through or around obstacles and obstructions with Moasure.

    Watch this quick tutorial video on how to utilize both the Ignore tool and the Extrapolate Corner tool to measure complex spaces.

    Obstacles or obstructions may seem like a challenge when measuring with Moasure, since motion-measuring requires you to pause every 8 seconds.

    However, the Moasure app the powerful Ignore tool within the Moasure app offers you a quick and simple way to measure through obstacles as if they never existed.

    In the following example, the back yard has large solar panels situated along the perimeter, preventing us from taking a measurement along the very edge of the lawn.

    Thanks to the powerful Ignore tool within the Moasure app, we are able to instead measure around the obstacle, capturing points as we go, until we get to the other side of the obstacle. Then, once we've returned to the measurement start point to complete the measurement of the space, we're able to utilize the Ignore tool to remove unwanted points from the measurement drawing.

    Two points are captured around the edge of the obstacle in order to complete the measurement.

    After a point is ignored, a line will be drawn between the point before and after it. You can pause and capture as many points as you need in order to measure around an obstacle. Likewise, you can ignore or remove as many points as you need in order to create an accurate measurement and corresponding drawing of a space.

    The following clip demonstrates how using the Ignore tool essentially removes measurement points.

    Measure Flower Beds

    Learn how to accurately measure flower beds with Moasure using Trace Line and Arc Path types.

    This walkthrough demonstrates how to combine both path types to quickly capture curved borders, sweeping edges and irregular shapes while maintaining an accurate area and perimeter measurement.

    Whether you're estimating mulch, bark, decorative stone or planting areas, this workflow helps you capture natural curves quickly and accurately.


    Before You Start

    Before measuring a flower bed, we recommend that you're familiar with:

    • Start & Finish a Measurement

    In this tutorial, you'll learn how to:

    • Measure a flower bed using a measurement.

    • Choose suitable start and finish points.

    • Combine Path types within the same measurement.

    • Capture smooth curves and irregular borders accurately.


    • Choose a memorable starting point, or use a flag or marker so you can easily finish at the same location.

    • Use Trace Line wherever you can comfortably follow the edge.

    • Use Arc where obstacles or inaccessible areas prevent tracing the boundary.

    • Move confidently between pause points and place the device while the timer remains in the green zone


    Use Trace Line when you can comfortably walk along the edge of the flower bed.

    This produces a smooth continuous boundary and is ideal for sweeping curves.

    Use Arc when you can't easily follow the edge, or when plants, shrubs or other obstacles prevent continuous movement.

    Capture the start, middle and end of the curve and Moasure will create the best-fit arc automatically.

    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.


    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.

    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)


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

    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


    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.

    Use Moasure Coach

    Moasure Coach helps you improve your measurements by showing you:

    • What needs improving

    • Where it happened in your measurement

    • How to improve your technique

    After completing a measurement, you may see a message such as “There are X ways you can improve”.

    Tap this message to view detailed guidance.

    When you open the Moasure Coach feedback:

    • Sections of your measurement are highlighted to show where improvements are needed

    • Each issue explains what affected accuracy

    • You can move through each suggestion using the arrows

    For more detailed guidance, select an issue and tap 'Learn how you can improve'. This may include text explanations, images, or short videos showing how to improve.

    Reviewing this feedback helps you understand exactly what to adjust in your next measurement.


    Moasure Coach feedback is typically related to three key elements of accurate measuring: pace, placement and rotation.

    Moasure captures each point when the device is completely still. Any movement during placement can affect accuracy.

    Use the guidance below to refine your technique:

    Move at a steady, controlled pace.

    Moasure measures continuously as you move, so maintaining a consistent rhythm helps track direction accurately.

    Avoid:

    • Moving too slowly or hesitantly

    • Pausing unnecessarily between placements

    • Speeding up or slowing down during movement

    Do instead:

    • Move at a steady, natural walking pace — not slow or hesitant

    • Keep movement smooth and consistent between placements

    • Pause to place the device flat and still, aiming for the green zone on the timer bar. Amber is acceptable, but avoid the red zone

    Avoid:

    • Placing the device too forcefully

    • Hesitating or hovering before placement

    • Moving the device while it is being placed

    Do instead:

    • Place the device flat and fully still against the surface

    • Set it down gently and in a controlled way

    • Keep the device still until the point is confirmed

    Avoid:

    • Sudden turns or jerky movement

    • Twisting the device sharply

    • Letting the device swing or tilt during a turn

    Do instead:

    • Rotate smoothly using natural body movement

    • Keep the device upright and controlled

    • Finish each turn aligned cleanly with the next wall


    Repeated small inconsistencies in any of these areas can reduce accuracy over time.

    Accuracy depends more on how long the device is moving than how far it travels.

    The example below shows common poor techniques and how to correct them across pace, placement and rotation:

    A single prompt will not usually affect accuracy. It is repeated inconsistencies over time that can introduce drift.

    Continue your measurement, using the feedback to gradually refine your movement.

    If the same feedback appears repeatedly, pause briefly and adjust your technique before continuing.


    To get the most from Moasure Coach:

    • Review feedback after each measurement

    • Focus on one or two improvements at a time

    • Repeat measurements to build consistency

    • Use the guidance provided to understand the correct technique

    As your technique improves, you will typically rely on Moasure Coach less.


    Moasure Coach is managed in the app settings.

    Go to: Settings (the cog icon in the bottom right corner of the screen) → Display Options → Moasure Coach

    You can choose:

    • To show feedback after measuring

    • To show guidance during measurement

    For more detail on each option, see settings.

    Measure Layers

    The Measuring Layers guide shows you how to capture multiple areas or shapes within a single measurement. By defining a clear reference edge, you can build up several layers that align accurately, giving you a complete diagram of your project.

    This section covers:

    • How the Layers feature works

    • Step-by-step instructions to create layers

    • Key tips for accuracy and repeatability

    • Using Closed and Open Shape measurements

    The ability to capture multiple areas or shapes within a single measurement is made possible by defining the first edge. This initial A to B measurement serves as a reference or datum line, ensuring accurate placement of subsequent shapes as part of the overall measurement.

    Consider these three key factors when choosing your first edge:

    1. Length: The longer the first edge, the less impact human error will have on the measurement, so walk at a brisk pace, aiming to pause just as the timer bar transitions from the green zone to the amber zone. Maintain a smooth, steady path as you walk, as this will enhance the accuracy of your Moasure device in positioning each layer relative to others.

    2. Distinctiveness and Repeatability: Select a distinct and easily repeatable first edge. For optimal clarity and ease, we recommend choosing a long straight line using the 'Straight Line' path type for clarity.

    3. Location: Position your first edge centrally within your overall measurement area. This reduces the distance you need to travel for each additional layer.

    When capturing subsequent layers, return to the first A to B edge so that Moasure can determine the relative location of the new layer. Keep the first edge centrally located to maximise accuracy, by minimising the travel distance between different areas.

    1. To start a measurement, tap on the '+' icon in the bottom centre of your screen.

    2. Select 'Closed Shape' from the list of available measurements options.

    3. Select the 'Path Type' you would like to use to start your measurement. We recommend the 'Straight Line' path type as your initial A to B reference line.

    4. Make sure your first measurement is long with a fast paced walk within the usual timeframe.

    Important: The first two points you captured at the beginning of your measurement will be used as 'Reference Points' for all Layers, so make sure they are memorable. This will ensure they overlay in the correct place.

    Important: Remember to save your measurements by tapping File > Save to save the layer measurement. Note that Save will just save the current file.

    Save As Copy is for when you want to keep the original measurement unchanged and save your new measurement (which now includes your base measurement layer and additional layer) as a separate file.

    Make sure the two reference points are easy to access and locate, as every time you create a new 'Layer' you will need to go back to the first two reference points.

    • Ideally, the two reference points must be separated by around 13 to 16 feet (4-5 metres).

    • When starting a new Layer, you’ll notice that the Path type is automatically set to 'Ignore Line'. This will prevent the orientation line from showing on your measurement diagram.

    1. Once you’ve moved from the reference line to the first point of your next measurement and are ready to measure, don’t forget to switch from 'Ignore Line' to the Path type you’d like to use next (Straight Line, Trace Line, Arc, Circle, etc.)

    2. Once you’re ready to finish your second measurement, tap on the red 'STOP' icon button in the bottom centre of your screen.

    3. To add new Layers, refer to Point 6.

    • All Layers must share the same first two reference points to ensure they overlay in the correct place.

    • When adding a new sub-layer, the Path between the orientation line and the first point of the sub-layer will be set to 'Ignore Line', meaning this line will not appear on your measurement diagram.

    • Once you've arrived at the sub-layer and when you're ready to begin measuring, change the Path type for the measurement.

    The Moasure app supports measuring both when working with 'Layers'. However, the closure behaviour is influenced by the initial shape measured on the base layer:

    • If you start with a closed shape on the base layer, all subsequent layers will also be treated as closed shapes.

    • Conversely, if you start with an open shape on the base layer, subsequent layers will follow this open shape pattern.

    If you measure an open shape (meaning you do not finish at the same start point), Moasure will automatically connect the endpoints with a dotted line to 'close' the shape, unless the shape consists of only two points forming a single line. You have the option to reopen the shape later if needed. It's important to note these behaviours to ensure accurate and desired measurements when using the Moasure 'Layers' feature.

    Auto Ignore

    Auto Ignore is a tool that enables you to automatically remove unwanted points on a straight path.

    As you set down your Moasure device throughout a measurement at 6 to 8 second intervals, the Moasure app records a point – a data coordinate with x, y and z values.

    The Auto Ignore tool enables you to 'ignore' or disable points along the same plane. Once a point is ignored, the Path is connected between the points before and after the ignored point, giving you a single, straight line and its corresponding measurement.

    To Auto Ignore points, follow these steps:

    1. On your measurement diagram, tap on the shape you'd like to edit

  • Once you’re ready to finish your first measurement, tap on the red stop icon in the bottom centre of your screen.

  • To create a second Layer, tap on the 'Layers' icon in the bottom right corner of your screen and select 'Add Layer'.

  • You can switch between other Path types throughout your measurement at any pause point.
  • Remember, measurement error grows with time, not distance.

  • Pause every 6 – 8 seconds throughout every measurement.

  • Try to maintain a pace of at least 3ft (1m) per second – pause more regularly for longer measurements. Use each pause to plan your next move.

  • Use the 'Ignore Points' tool within the app to 'ignore' individual points captured during the measurement. Once a point is ignored, a line will be drawn between the points before and after the ignored point(s). Use this feature when you need to walk around an obstacle, or when you don't have line of sight through an obstacle.

  • View measurement feedback from Moasure Coach, to help you measure with confidence and accuracy.

  • How does the Layers feature work?

    Note: There's no option to change the reference edge for subsequent layers. It will always be the first measured edge of the first layer (base layer).

    On uneven terrain, it can be helpful to gently push down on the STICK and hold it there to ensure that your Moasure device is kept completely still, allowing it to record a pause point. Sometimes, it can be easier to measure without the STICK, setting the device down by hand.

    If you want to automatically ignore points for all measurements without following the steps above for each measurement, you can set Auto Ignore as a global setting. You can learn more about this in the Auto Ignore Setting guide.

    If you want to manually remove points on a path, use the Ignore Tool instead.

    Master Pace

    Moving at the correct pace is one of the most important techniques for achieving accurate measurements with Moasure.

    Watch this tutorial to learn how to move confidently between pause points, use the timer bar and audio feedback to guide your pace, and understand why measurement error increases with time, not distance.

    Why Pace Matters

    Moasure measures continuously while you move. Each time you pause and place the device completely still, it captures a measurement point. We refer to these locations as pause points.

    Moasure's accuracy depends on how long the device remains in motion, not simply how far it travels.

    Think about time rather than distance. Whether your next pause point is close by or further away, reaching it sooner will generally produce a more accurate result because there is less time for measurement error to accumulate.

    The goal isn't to rush. It's to move confidently between pause points, then place the device quickly but gently before continuing.

    To achieve the best results:

    • Walk at a steady, confident pace. Move briskly without rushing.

    • Rotate smoothly as you turn. Avoid sudden or jerky movements.

    • Pause regularly. Place the device while the timer remains in the green zone, or no later than the amber zone.


    The timer bar provides both visual and audio feedback to help you know when it's time to capture your next pause point.

    This is the ideal timing window. Aim to place the device while the timer remains in the green zone whenever possible.

    You're approaching the recommended limit. Prepare to pause and place the device.

    You've exceeded the recommended timing. Continuing to measure in the red zone increases the likelihood of inaccurate measurements. Pause immediately.

    • A steady ticking sound begins as soon as you start moving.

    • After approximately 6 seconds, you'll hear beeping to remind you to prepare to pause.

    • After approximately 9 seconds, the beeping becomes faster, indicating that you've moved well beyond the recommended timing.


    The example above shows the difference between moving at a confident pace and moving too slowly.

    Walking confidently helps you reach the next pause point while the timer remains in the green zone.

    Moving too slowly causes the timer to enter the amber and red zones, increasing the likelihood of measurement error.


    You don't need to complete the entire measurement within 8 seconds.

    Instead, simply break longer measurements into shorter sections by capturing regular pause points before continuing.

    For example, if a section would take around 10 seconds to walk, split it into two shorter movements with a pause point between them.

    Think of each pause point as a marker along your measurement. Regular pause points help maintain accuracy over longer distances.


    Don't worry if you can't reach your next pause point within the recommended timing.

    Simply pause before the obstacle, then continue measuring once you've moved around it.

    You can capture as many pause points as needed to maintain accuracy.


    • Measurement error increases with time, not distance.

    • Move confidently between pause points - don't move slowly.

    • Aim to pause while the timer remains in the green zone, or no later than the amber zone.

    • Break longer measurements into shorter sections with regular pause points.

    Square Up

    The Square Up tool allows you to correct and tidy your measurements by snapping angles to 90° or 45°.

    This can be useful in a variety of scenarios:

    • Wall measurements: Where corners should be square, but your capture may be slightly off.

    • Outdoor structures and site measurements: Such as patios, gazebos, or site boundaries, where angles need squaring for a cleaner outline.

    How it works

    After capturing your measurement:

    1. Open the Square Up tool from the toolbar.

    2. Choose from three levels of intensity:

      • Low

      • Medium

    Example

    In the example below, an outdoor site outline was captured. The original measurement contains several angles that were close but not exactly square. Applying Square Up at Medium intensity corrected these, providing a much cleaner layout while retaining the overall shape.

  • Image: export to PNG, JPG or SVG formats.

  • MFile: export to MFile to share with another Moasure app.

    1. Open the Moasure app and select the measurement you would like to export by tapping on Files located at the bottom of the app, and then tapping Open.

    2. Once the measurement is loaded, tap on File > Export.

    3. Select the desired export format from the options provided.

    Export Format Selection

    When exporting to PDF, you can choose to change the default configuration options to customise the PDF to your liking. You can preview how the configuration options affect the PDF before exporting by tapping on Show Preview at the bottom of the Configure PDF screen.

    The configurable options are explained below:

    • Dimension Font Size: The size of font used throughout the PDF document.

    • Paper Size: The size of the paper the PDF will be exported to. You can choose from a wide range of options, including A0 to A4, as well as engineering paper sizes such as ANSI C to E.

    • Paper Orientation: Choose between Portrait and Landscape.

    • Scale to Fit: Scale to Fit is selected by default. This option automatically scales down or up the measurement to fit the dimensions of the paper size you have chosen to export to. When enabled, the PDF export process analyses the content and the paper size you have selected. If the content is larger than the selected paper size, it scales it down proportionally to fit within the available space. This ensures that the entire content is visible and printable on the chosen paper size. Conversely, if the content is smaller than the selected paper size, 'Scale to Fit' may scale it up proportionally to maximise the use of the paper space. This helps to avoid content from appearing too small on larger paper sizes.

    • Preset Scale: You can select a preset scale by turning the Scale to Fit option off. You can then choose from a wide range of scales ranging from 1:1 to 1:500. Each export with a selected scale (whether scale to fit or preset scale) features a scale bar with a scale ratio that indicates the relationship between the measurements shown on the paper and the corresponding measurements in real life. It provides a visual representation of the scale or ratio used to represent distances. To give an example: if you have selected a scale of 1:5, it means that each unit of measurement on the paper (in this case 1cm) represents a larger measurement in real life (in this case 5cm). So, for every 1cm you measure on the paper, it corresponds to a 5cm distance in the actual world. To illustrate this further, if you measure an edge on the paper and it's 4cm long, you can calculate the real-world length by multiplying it by the scale factor. In this case, 4cm on the paper would represent a length of 20cm in real life (4cm x 5 = 20cm). In addition, a grid of squares is displayed behind the measurement. These grid squares can be used to estimate the size of measurements in real life. The grid squares serve as a visual reference, allowing you to assess the relative sizes of measurement edges and total measurement. Remember, you can always look up the real world value of the measurement edges in the Edges Page on the PDF.

    See below an example of PDF that is exported with the Scale to Fit option:

    • Centre on Page: the Centre on Page option is selected by default and centres the measurement on the page, even when the measurement is dragged to the left or right of the app canvas prior to exporting. When this option is turned off, the measurement will not be centred. This can be useful for when you only want to export a section of the measurement (the section that is displayed on the app canvas). See below examples of the same PDF with the Centre on Page turned on and off.

    Measurement on app canvas
    Centre on Page turned OFF
    Centre on Page turned ON
    • Show Grid: This option is selected by default. This option shows a light square grid on the PDF.

    • Show Layers on Separate Pages: This option is selected by default. When enabled, it will show Layers (in multi-layer measurements) on the PDF by rendering each layer on a separate page.

    • Show Background Image: This option is selected by default. When enabled and when a background image is added to the measurement through the Edit Background Tool, it will add the background image to the PDF.

    • Show in Black/White: This option enables you to export the PDF in black/white rather than in the default colours. This is useful when you want to export in higher contrast or simply save on ink.

    In app version 3.0 onwards, Point-to-Point measurements can be exported to scaled PDF, ensuring accurate representation for use in presentations, reports, or further processing.

    1. Complete your measurement using the Point to Point measurement type.

    • 2D: flattens data by removing elevation.

    When exporting to Image, you can select from three options:

    • PNG.

    • JPG: great for optimised file sizes.

    • SVG: great for transparent background.

    When exporting to CSV, you can choose to change the default configuration options to customise the CSV to your liking.

    The configurable options are as follows:

    • Include Path Number: Adds a column and value for the Path Type number of the recorded point. The number corresponds to the order of the Path Types in the measurement. To give an example, the first Path Type measured will be number 1. If the Path Type is consequently changed (e.g. from Straight Line to Trace Line), the new path number will be 2. If only one Path Type is used in the measurement, all Path Types will have the number 1.

    • Include Path Type: Adds a column and value for the Path Type of the recorded point. The Path Types in the CSV do not always map to the values in the UI. Below is a mapping table to help you understand the meaning of the CSV values.

    • Include Point Label: Adds a column and value for the Label of the recorded point added through the Edit Label Tool.

    • Include Point Type: Adds a column and value for the Type of the recorded point (e.g. default, FlightPoint). A Point Type can be one of the following:

    Point Type
    Explanation

    Default

    This is a normal pause point.

    IgnorePoint

    This is a normal ignore point.

    • Include Layer Name: adds a column and value for the name of the layer the recorded point is in (e.g. Base Layer).

    • Include Layer Number: adds a column and value for the layer number. The number corresponds to the chronological order the layers are added in. To give an example, if you have added one layer to your measurement, there will be two layers in total. The first layer (base layer) will be number 1 and the second (added) layer will be number 2.

    • Include Column Heading: adds column heading names on the first row.

    • Include Area: adds a column and value for the area.

    • Include Ignored Points: adds Ignored points to the CSV.

    • Use Local Number Format: uses local number formatting for displaying the number values. To give an example, when enabled, a user in the UK will have the square metre number formatted as 150.65 whilst a user in Spain will have the same number formatted as 150,65. See below an example of a CSV file and image that is exported with all configuration options enabled:

    Edit Paths

    The 'Edit Paths' Tool enables you to change the Path Types originally measured.

    You can, for example, change a straight path to a trace path or an ignore path to a straight path. You can also create a circle or arc based on two paths and a point. Besides changing the type of path, you can also split and join paths. So if you have measured a whole measurement with, for example, 4 segments, in Straight Path, the Edit Paths will show them as one path. You can split the paths at each pause point to make them separately editable, so you can change one path to Trace Line and keep the others as Straight Line for example.

    To change path types, follow the steps below:

    1. Tap on Edit in the bottom navigation bar to open the Edit Toolbar.

    2. Tap on Edit Paths.

    3. The Edit Paths screen will now be shown. Each path will have a different colour so you know which paths are different from each other.

    4. Select a path of your choice by tapping on it.

    5. Tap on Change Path Type.

    6. Select a new Path Type to change the type of your selected path

    To split paths or join paths, follow the steps below:

    • Tap on Edit in the bottom navigation bar to open the Edit Toolbar.

    • Tap on Edit Paths.

    • The Edit Paths screen will now be shown. Each path will have a different colour so you know which paths are different from each other.

    Understand Views

    This guide will take you through how to navigate and view your measurements in the Moasure app, with various viewing options and tools to help you visualise your data effectively.

    When you complete a measurement diagram, each path captured between pause points is displayed. Double-tap anywhere on the screen to make the full diagram visible, drag with one finger to move your measurement, pinch with two fingers to zoom in and out, or swipe with one finger to pan left or right.

    2D Plan offers a top-down perspective of your measurement, allowing you to see the perimeter and area clearly. Tap an individual pause point to reveal its relative x, y, z coordinates, including elevation. Tap away from any pause point on your screen to see the View icons again.

    If your measurement is on a sloping plane rather than horizontal, 2D Fit aligns with the angle of the slope, adjusting dimensions and area accordingly. Note that switching to 2D Fit on a horizontal plane won't cause a significant change in the view.

    To explore measurements in three dimensions, such as elevations or gradients, tap on the 3D cube icon. This switches to the 3D view, where you can pinch to zoom and use one finger to pan your drawing, both horizontally and vertically.

  • Tap on Split Path or Join Path.

  • The Paths will now be split or joined at the above selected point.

  • By tapping on the 3D surface icon, you can access a surface mesh view, represented by a colour scale, with blue as the lowest point and red as the highest point. This view also provides information on surface area – the total of all faces of the 3D figure – and volume, calculated by projecting the lowest point’s height (shown as the lowest z-value) to a horizontal plane.

    There are two ways to calculate volume in this view – learn more on the Measure Volume and 3D Terrain page under Understand Perimeter and Lowest Point Plane.

    If you used the Points path type to capture elevation data, switch to Contour view to see a contour map of your drawing. The contour lines represent gradient steepness: closer lines mean steeper gradients, while wider spacing indicates gentler slopes. The app automatically sets the contour interval to reflect the elevation changes. Use this view to gain insights into the topography of your measurement.

    From within Contour View, switch between 2D and 3D views using the toggle towards the top of the canvas to better visualise your data:

    • 2D View: displays the contours in a flat plane, making it easier to interpret the overall gradient.

    • 3D View: adds depth, showing the elevation changes in three dimensions for a more realistic representation.

    Toggle between the views to see your measurement from different perspectives, helping you to assess the terrain more effectively.

    From 2D & 3D Contour View, you can customise contour intervals for more flexible elevation visualisation, with minor and major contour lines – minor contours are thin and unlabelled, and major contours are thick with labels.

    Custom Contour Intervals let you review subtle terrain changes in more detail or simplify the view to highlight larger elevation changes.

    To amend your contour intervals:

    1. Tap on Contour View on an open measurement.

    2. Tap on the cog icon at the top of the canvas, to the right-hand side of the 2D/3D toggle.

    3. The Edit Contour Settings overlay will appear at the bottom of your screen.

    4. Switch between Feet and Metres accordingly.

    5. Tap the appropriate box to enter your Minor and Major Contour Interval values.

    6. Enter your chosen values.

    7. Tap Save.

    8. Your contour lines will be updated on the canvas.

    The Contour Settings let you control how elevation contour lines are displayed.

    Minor Contour Interval

    • Sets the elevation spacing for minor contour lines.

    • Minor contours are thin and unlabelled.

    • Example: If set to 2 ft (0.6 m), minor contours will be shown every 2 feet (0.6 m).

    Major Contour Interval (Multiplier)

    • Defines how often major contour lines are drawn, based on a multiple of the minor interval.

    • Major contours are thicker and labelled.

    • Examples:

      • If the Minor Contour Interval is 2 ft and the Major Contour Interval is set to 3 → major contours appear every 6 ft.

      • If the Minor Contour Interval is 1 ft and the Major Contour Interval is set to 2 → major contours appear every 2 ft.

      • If the Minor Contour Interval is 0.5 m and the Major Contour Interval is set to 2 → major contours appear every 1 m.

      • If the Minor Contour Interval is 0.2 m and the Major Contour Interval is set to 4 → major contours appear every 0.8 m.

    After adjusting the values, tap Save to update the contours.

    Switch back to standard 2D or 3D views to interact with individual elements; tapping on a measurement line will display its length, rise, and run. Selecting a point will reveal its angle and x, y, z coordinates. Tap away from any selected point or edge to bring back the view icons.

    Cross Section enables you to measure the rise, run and gradient between two points. To use Cross Section:

    • Tap on a measurement point to select it.

    • Tap ‘Cross Section’.

    • Tap on a second point. You will see the length, rise, run, angle and gradient.

    • Tap 'Cross Section' at the bottom. You will then see the rise, run, angle and gradient.

    • Switch between default 'Gradient View' to 'Plan View': Gradient View displays incline details between points, including run, gradient percentage, rise, and angle. Plan view displays a top-down view of the horizontal distance between the points.

    • Swipe down or tap on the greyed-out canvas to return to the previous view.

    • Tap ‘Cancel’ to return to your measurement diagram.

    Custom Contour Intervals

    There is no maximum contour interval limit, only a minimum threshold set at 3% of the elevation range.

    Contours are based on real measured elevation points, with interpolated elevation lines drawn based on a surface fitting algorithm using a surface mesh triangulation of measurement points. There is no AI-based estimation; elevation changes are real and derived by interpolation between measured points.
