How can I measure distance or coordinates?

You can use various measurement functions to measure different distances, heights, and coordinates in projects.

Measurement functions

Open the desired variant and click on Measurement in the toolbar at the top. You have three tools at your disposal.

Point to point

Click on Point to point to start the function. The first click in the map sets the starting point and the second click sets the end point of the route.

You are now given two numbers, the blue line is the distance from the start to the end point and the red line is the difference in height between the two points. 

Height above terrain

Click on Height above Terrain to start the function. Click on the desired point on the map, then the height above terrain for the point is given.

Please note that, the accuracy of the height of an object above the terrain depends on the accuracy of the object, as well as the terrain below it. 

Coordinates

Click on Coordinates to start the function. Click on the desired point on the map, then the coordinates are given in the LV95 (swiss national survey) and WGS systems.

Delete measurements

Measurements can be removed by clicking on Delete Measurements. This does not close the measurement tool and further measurements can be taken.
