Using Measure Tools in Commander

Commander’s Measurement Tools allow you to measure point-to-point distances within a live point cloud or review mission point cloud. You can place two points for a simple measurement or add multiple points to create a path measure. Points can be moved, adjusted, or removed as needed, giving you flexible in-field control over how you verify dimensions.

 

 

 

Step 1: Open the Tools Menu

1. From the Commander Main View, select the Tools icon in the top right corner of the toolbar.

 

 

Step 2: Enable Measure Line

1. In the Measurement section, toggle Enable Measure Line to activate the tool.

• • The Measure Line interface appears on the right side of the screen.

 

Step 3: Place Your Points

1. Select a point in the live point cloud to place your first measure point.

2. Select a second point to place your second marker.

   • A line connects the two points, and a distance label appears at the midpoint.

 

Step 4: (Optional) Extend the Measurement

To measure a longer path, continue selecting points to add them sequentially.

• Each new point is numbered, and segment distances appear automatically between points.
• The Points list in the Tools menu updates as you go, displaying all points and the total distance at the bottom.

 

 

Step 5: (Optional) Adjust a Point

If a point is placed incorrectly:

1. Select the point to highlight it in blue.
2. Select a new location in the point cloud to move it.

Step 6: (Optional) Remove Points

To delete an individual point:

1. If closed, reopen the Tools menu by pressing the Tools button.

2. Select the bin icon beside the point you want to remove.

To clear all points and start fresh, scroll to the bottom and select Remove All.
