📐 Measure a distance or an area on a building's floor plan, in meters, without going to the building. Works on a computer and on a phone.
Measure a distance
Open a building and pick a floor.
In the toolbar at the bottom of the map, click Measure and choose Measure distance.
Click the first point, then the second. The panel shows the distance: in centimeters under 10 meters, in meters above.
Pick what to measure in the panel: Diagonal is the straight line between the points, Horizontal ignores the height difference, Vertical measures only the height difference.
Click two new points to measure again, or Clear to start over.
💡 Faster: right-click a point on the floor plan and choose From this point, then right-click the second point and choose To this point.
Measure an area
Open a building and pick a floor.
Click Measure in the toolbar and choose Measure area.
Click once on each corner of the area. The panel shows the area in square meters as you go.
Right-click a point to remove it. Undo and Redo step through your changes; Clear starts over.
Turn snapping on or off
Points snap to the walls and corners in the model, so the measurement follows the drawing rather than your click. Hold Ctrl to place a point exactly where you click. To turn snapping off for good, open More options in the toolbar, choose View settings and change it under Measurement.
Close the measurement
Click the close button in the panel or press Esc. Measurements are not saved.
Measure on a phone
The toolbar has no Measure button on a phone. Press and hold a point on the floor plan and choose Measure from this point, then press and hold the second point and choose Measure to this point. Both tools are also in the Layers menu at the top right of the map, under Map interactions.
If it doesn't work
There is no Measure button in the toolbar
Measure is only offered when a building is open, not on the outdoor map. Open a building and pick a floor first.
The point lands next to where I clicked
Snapping moved it to the nearest wall or corner. Hold Ctrl while you click to place it exactly.
