Where is it?

Hi Nick,

You can of course measure distances on 3D objects vertically in Pix4D. You could also measure areas and volumes. See this link that explains the workflow:&nbsp;[https://support.pix4d.com/hc/en-us/articles/202560739-How-to-measure-Distances-Areas-or-Volumes](https://support.pix4d.com/hc/en-us/articles/202560739-How-to-measure-Distances-Areas-or-Volumes)

Let me know if that answers your question.
