How to measure Distances, Areas on 2D map like [mosaic editor]

Greetings.

Hello, my name is Seiichi Takayama.

I want to know howto meeasure distances and areas. (Not volume), on desktop (Not cloud).
Pix4D cloud can measure distances and areas at 2D mode and 3D mode, I know.

But I don’t know how to measure distances and areas on Pix4D mapper’s [Mosaic Editor].
[Ray Cloud Editor]'s “New surface” function can measure lentgh and area, but not so useful.

I want to know how to measure distances and areas on Pix4D mapper at desktop.

Best regards.

Hi Seiichi,

In Pix4Dmapper Desktop, you can perform measurements of various objects in the rayCloud. Please add polylines and surfaces as explained in this article: Menu View > rayCloud > Left sidebar > Layers > Objects.

Cheers,

Hello, Teodora Enache
Thank you quick reply.

[Ray Cloud Editor]'s [Polyline] and [Surface] are the solution of this topic, I understand.

Is there any function on [Mosaic Editor] ?
If I know only 2D-projected length and areas, it is useful to operate on 2D maps.
I should hope to future update ?

Best regards.
