Measure thes surface area and side area using CAD Reader on mobile?
- Open the drawing in CAD Reader.
- From the measurement toolbar, select the Distance Tool.
- Verify existing dimensions on the drawing to ensure the scale is accurate.
- If needed, convert dimension values to meters using the Scale function to obtain results in square meters.
- Select the Scale Tool, then click on a known dimension.
- Input the correct real-world value in meters (e.g., if the measured length is 5750 mm, input 5.75 m).
- Once scaled, choose the Area Tool and measure the surface area by closing the loop around the desired region.
- To find the side area, use the Calculate Side Area feature.
- Input the object's height to obtain the result.
- Copy the measurement result and paste it into an Excel sheet for further use.
Note: The measurement unit will align with the drawing scale. For example, dimensions in millimeters (mm) will yield results in square millimeters (mm²).
