Menu: Survey / Measurement kit

The measurement kit manages the different measurements done in the project so far. All measurements done are available here with a toggle to display or hide them. All distances are in the same measurement system than the project, unless a scale as been specified in the global settings beside "Source unit of measure" . Each can have its own color, but the size, precision, type of angles and area shading are modified for all of them in  Menu: Settings / View / Measurements.

Several type of measurements are available and the number of points required varies:

• Measure distance 2D: Planimetric (XY) distance between two points. "2D=" will prefix the measure.
• Measure distance 3D: True distance between two points. "3D=" will prefix the measure.
• Measure distance slope: Percentge of slope between two points. No prefix will be present but the "%" fill fallow the measure.
• Measure angles 2D: Planimetric(XY) angle between three points, second point being the middle point were the angle will be shown. "2D:" will prefix the angle.
• Measure angles 3D: True angle between three points, second point being the middle point were the angle will be shown. "3D:" will prefix the angle.
• Measure perimeters: True perimeter of the area by all the points picked to create a polygon. To close the polygon the  button must be pressed. "P=" will prefix the measure.
• Measure area: Area created by all the points picked to create a polygon. To close the polygon the  button must be pressed. The "S=" will prefix the measurement. 
• Measure elevations: Measure the height difference between two points. The "H=" will prefix the measure and a dashed triangle will be shown to represent base and height of the segment.
• Measure path length: Measure the cumulative distance along a path for each vertex. The "L=" will prefix each cumulative measure. The interface and report will only show the total length.
