Watch this How to video to discover how you can take measurements of wall areas and generate more measurements from within a photo you have already captured.
How measure area of a wall:
- To estimate an area within an image, for example if you were looking to tile a specific section of a wall, use the square area measurement option.
- First capture the distance measurement keeping the device parallel to the target wall and also holding it level forward and backwards. Once you have captured an image, select the area measurement option.
- A green box will appear. Use your finger to drag the corners to fit the area you want to measure.
- A magnified view of each corner will help you fine-tune the point that you have selected. The distance of each length is shown along the line with the area shown in the middle.
- You can change the units of measure in the settings menu. If you’d like to refer back to the measurement later, save the image and the area measurement markings will be imprinted.
- You can only accurately apply area measurements to surfaces that are the same distance away as the initial measurement target. So, if you measure the distance to a wall,you can then add area estimates to any section of that wall in the image. But you would not be able to measure the height or size of anything on a different wall or surface.
