Measure thes surface area and side area using CAD Reader on mobile?

  1. Open the drawing in CAD Reader.
  2. From the measurement toolbar, select the Distance Tool.
  3. Verify existing dimensions on the drawing to ensure the scale is accurate.
  4. If needed, convert dimension values to meters using the Scale function to obtain results in square meters.
  5. Select the Scale Tool, then click on a known dimension.
  6. Input the correct real-world value in meters (e.g., if the measured length is 5750 mm, input 5.75 m).
  7. Once scaled, choose the Area Tool and measure the surface area by closing the loop around the desired region.
  8. To find the side area, use the Calculate Side Area feature.
  9. Input the object's height to obtain the result.
  10. 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).
