Managing Measurements

Edit, rename, color, hide, lock, and delete your measurements.

Renaming Measurements

Give meaningful names to your measurements so you can identify them later:

  1. Find the measurement in the Measurements Panel
  2. Double-click on the name (or click the edit icon)
  3. Type a new name
  4. Press Enter to save

Good naming examples: "Main Lot", "North Drive Lane", "Employee Parking", "ADA Striping", "Phase 1 Area"

Changing Colors

Use different colors to distinguish measurement types on the map:

  1. Click the color indicator (colored square) next to the measurement
  2. Choose from 8 preset colors
  3. The map updates immediately

Tip: Use consistent colors for similar areas - e.g., blue for parking, green for sidewalks, amber for drive lanes.

Showing & Hiding

Toggle visibility to declutter your map without deleting measurements:

  • Visible: Measurement shows on map
  • Hidden: Measurement is invisible but still exists

Note: Hidden measurements still count toward totals. They just don't display on the map.

Locking Measurements

Lock measurements to prevent accidental edits:

  • Unlocked: Can be edited, moved, or deleted
  • Locked: Cannot be modified until unlocked

Best practice: Lock completed measurements before working on new ones to prevent accidentally moving them.

Deleting Measurements

Delete Single Measurement

  1. Select the measurement on the map or in the panel
  2. Press Delete or click the trash icon
  3. Confirm in the dialog

Delete Multiple Measurements

  1. Select multiple measurements (Ctrl+click or Shift+click in the panel)
  2. Press Delete
  3. Confirm deletion of all selected items

Clear All Measurements

Click the eraser (Clear All) button in the toolbar to remove everything.

Warning: Deletion cannot be undone after the dialog is confirmed. Make sure you want to remove measurements before confirming.

Selecting Multiple Measurements

You can select multiple measurements to perform actions on all of them at once:

ClickSelect single measurement
Ctrl + ClickAdd/remove from selection
Shift + ClickSelect range between clicks
Ctrl + ASelect all measurements

Editing Vertices

Adjust the shape of area and line measurements by editing their vertices (corner points):

  • Move a vertex: Click and drag any corner point
  • Add a vertex: Click on an edge midpoint (small square)
  • Remove a vertex: Right-click on a vertex

The area/length recalculates automatically as you edit.
