Measure Dimensions on 3D Models and 2D Maps

Place measurement points on your 3D scenes and 2D maps to get real distances and areas. Use model dimensions or GPS coordinates for scaling. View height profiles on 3D terrain, compare multiple layers, and measure polygon areas on floor plans — all in one platform.

One Measurement Workflow for 3D and 2D

Whether you publish 3D photogrammetry models or 2D tile maps and floor plans, measurement is easy to set up. Choose model-based units or GPS coordinates for real-world scale. Your viewers then place points and see distances—and on 3D, a height profile; on 2D, enclosed area.

How Measurement Fits Your Content

3D Models

Enable measurement in the editor. Set your model’s unit (metric or imperial) or turn on GPS distance so lengths use real-world coordinates. Viewers place points on the mesh and see segment distances plus a height profile graph.

2D Maps & Floor Plans

Calibrate with two points and a known distance, or use GPS. Once calibrated, viewers measure distances along any path and get the area of closed polygons— ideal for floor plans and custom maps.

Measurement on 3D Scenes

Get accurate dimensions and elevation profiles directly on your 3D models

Place Measurement Points

Viewers click on the 3D model to place numbered points. Distances between consecutive points are shown as horizontal, vertical, and direct—with optional metric/imperial display.

Model or GPS Scaling

Use the 3D model’s own dimensions, or enable GPS-based distance so measurements reflect real-world scale even when the model isn’t perfectly scaled in space.

Multi-Layer Profile Comparison

When your scene has multiple layers, the height profile can be shown for each layer along the same path. Compare terrain or construction states at a glance.

Height Profile with Download

Along each measurement path, viewers see a height profile chart. Export it as an image for reports and presentations.

Height profile is drawn along the measured path; one click downloads the chart as a PNG image.

Measurement on 2D Maps

Calibrate once, then let viewers measure distances and areas on your 2D imagery

Quick Calibration

Place two points on the image and enter the real-world distance between them. Or use defined GPS coordinates. Setup takes seconds so you can publish measurable floor plans and maps fast.

Distance Along Paths

Viewers click to add points and see the distance for each segment and the total length. Perfect for room dimensions, corridor lengths, and custom map routes.

Polygon Area

When three or more points form a closed shape, the enclosed area is calculated and displayed in your chosen units. Essential for floor areas, plots, and zones.

Area Measurement on 2D Maps

Draw a polygon on your floor plan or map and see the enclosed area in real-world units.

Measure rooms, land parcels, or any closed region; area is shown in the measurement panel.

Use Cases for Measurement

From property and heritage to construction and real estate—measurement adds real value

Property Management

Measure distances and analyze height profiles on 3D site models. Compare terrain across layers for due diligence and planning.

Cultural Heritage

Inspect heritage sites with measurable 3D models. Document dimensions and elevation changes for research and preservation.

Real Estate

Publish interactive floor plans where buyers measure room sizes and total area. Combine with 360° tours for a complete listing experience.

Floor Plans

Easy setup and publish: two-point calibration and you have an interactive floor plan where users measure distances and areas.

Construction & Infrastructure

Validate progress with 3D measurement and height profiles. Compare as-built vs. design layers; measure clearances and slopes.

Mining & Quarry

Analyze terrain and volume changes over time with multi-layer 3D measurement and downloadable height profiles.

Custom & Interactive Maps

Build your own interactive maps with measurement: facility plans, event venues, utility layouts. Calibrate once and share.

Facility & Event Planning

Plan spaces with measurable 2D maps. Check room areas, aisle distances, and evacuation routes on one interactive plan.

Environmental & Terrain

Compare elevation profiles across layers for environmental studies, land management, and before/after analysis.

Why Measurement Matters for Your Business

Save time, improve decisions, and present data clearly

Faster Decisions

Viewers get dimensions and areas without leaving the viewer. No need to export to CAD or GIS for simple checks—answers are one click away.

Height Profile Export

Download the height profile as an image for reports, tenders, and stakeholder presentations. Professional output without extra tools.

Compare Layers

On 3D scenes with multiple layers, compare height profiles along the same path. See terrain or construction changes side by side.
