On the drawing's level

On the drawing’s level

Select the option 'On the drawing’s level' when you want to measure a surface area which is located on the same level with the one depicted in the drawing. In order to measure the desired surface, you have to draw it again by consecutively clicking on its perimeter’s nodes.

During the measurement procedure, you can measure surface areas that are enclosed by curved lines by right-clicking and selecting ‘Drawing arc’ (See Measuring in image Files/Types & Methods of Measurement/Length Measurement/Measuring procedure).

If you want to calculate the total area of more than one surfaces in one measurement, press Esc once and then measure the next area, and so on (e.g. counting tiles in a WC and two bathrooms simultaneously).

The measuring procedure can be completed by right-clicking and selecting 'Terminate Measurement,' or by pressing the Εsc key twice.

To continue the measurement, click the  ‘Continue Measurement’ button to add surface areas to the measurement, or  ‘Continue Measurement (subtract)’ if you wish subtract the area of already drawn surfaces (e.g. in the façade, by removing the surface area of the wall openings). The surfaces that you remove from the measurement are marked on the drawing with cross-hatching, while the outline of the areas removed is marked with a dashed line.
