This allows for additional calculations, such as Wall Area, on the Markups list, if desired. In the Measurement Properties section of the Measurements panel, the Depth field becomes active.The Perimeter measurement mode is engaged. Go to Tools > Measure > Perimeter or press SHIFT+ALT+P.Though they can appear similar to an Area Measurement, they are not closed shapes, and thus they can be used to calculate the length of a multi-segment line, such as when estimating cable or wiring runs. Perimeter measurements are often used to calculate the total length of all sides of a given shape. Holding down SHIFT while doing so will force the rectangle into a square.Click and drag to place a rectangular shape.
The measurement is updated as you edit the markup shape.
Click and drag the yellow control points to adjust the arc as necessary. Right-click on the line near point B and select Convert to Arc. Right-click on the line near point A and select Convert to Arc. In the following example, five points have been used, numbered 1-5. The Area measurement mode is engaged.Ĭlick to define several points around the area. Go to Tools > Measure > Area or press SHIFT+ALT+A. Refer to the Working with Curved Markups section for more detail. The example below outlines the basic procedure using an Area Measurement. You can also configure Revu to draw using curves automatically in the Markup Preferences. Revu typically takes standard measurements in straight lines, but you can add arcs to those lines in order to measure curved areas easily.
Length measurement arrows will automatically position themselves inside the extension lines when there is enough room, otherwise they will automatically position themselves outside the extension lines. Hold down SHIFT to draw lines that are at horizontal, vertical, or 45° angles. Note that you can hide and recall this preview window while placing a measurement. When minimized, the preview window is replaced with a measure icon click this icon to recall the measurement values preview window.
You can hide this preview window by clicking the X to its left.
If the page scale has been set, a preview of key measurement values will appear in the lower-right corner of the drawing as you place measurements to help ensure precision. Click the end points of the desired length. In the example below, the text "6 inch tall" was entered. To add text that will appear on the markup, enter it in the Label field of the Measurements panel. This description will appear on the Markups list.
The Length measurement mode is engaged.Įnter a description of the measurement in the Subject field on the Measurements panel. Go to Tools > Measure > Length or press SHIFT+ALT+L.For a multi-segment line, like an open perimeter, see Measuring Open Perimeters below. Length measurements, which calculate a single, linear measurement, are among the most common.
