The suite of measure tools in Infrastructure Cloud Portal is designed to allow you to verify and validate that objects are designed to intended specifications. This section covers the different ways you can measure in Infrastructure Cloud.

The Measurement Tool contain with another set of tools which allows a user to measure distance, area, XYZ coordinates, Latitude, Longitude and Altitude of defined point in the model. Although, in the bottom right of the screen 'The Measurement Panel' appear which show more detailed information about the measurements that are currently selected.

	Measure Distance	Measures the distance between 2 specified points or the cumulative distance of a polyline. Toggle on the Multi-point option in the tool settings to have the cumulative measurement. The Measurements panel will show Distance, Run, Rise, Slope and Start & End Coordinates.  You can display the run and rise on the measurement by turning on the Measures Axes.
	Measure Area	Measures the area of the specified shape. Users can manually draw an area of any size and shape.  The Measurement Panel will show Area, Area XY, Perimeter and Edge Count. The Area XY value is the 2D area of the defined shape as if a shadow was projected directly down on the XY Plane.
	Measure Location	Provides details about the specified point in the model. The Measurement panel will show the XYZ Coordinates, Latitude, Longitude and Altitude. If the selected point is on a surface (not edge or vertex) the instantaneous slope at the selected point will also be shown.
	Measure Radius	Allows the user to measure a radius by drawing 3 points to define the desired circle. The Measurement panel will show Radius, Arc Length and total Circle Circumference.
	Measure Angle	Allows the user to measure an angle by drawing 3 points to define the angle to be measured.
	Clear Measurement	The Clear Measurement button will remove all measurements that are currently active on the screen.
	Share Measurement	Any selected measurements can be added to the Shared Measurements Layer by clicking the Share Measurement button. This allows measurements to be shared with all users to reduce the need for common measurements to be taken by each reviewer.

 

Measurement Panel

The measurement panel will appear in the bottom right of the screen for any measurements that are currently selected. The measurement panel will show more detailed information about the measurements that have been taken.
