0 Guest Frank Brault Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Actually it turns out I think, that you can successively measure points with the AR tool in a space and if you end up on the starting point, Vectorworks will create a polygon out of it... Quote Link to comment

0 Guest Frank Brault Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hey techdef and markdd! I definitely did NOT call this by the right name, LOL! The AR-Measure tool (Augmented Reality) is part of our Nomad app that runs on Android and iOS. More info and a link to a video is available here: Quote Link to comment
0 Hans-Olav Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I use spaces for that. Quote Link to comment

The object info palette should show perimeter and area by default. Is this perhaps missing from your object info palette? If you have multiple objects selected it will give the combined (total) area of those objects. Edited January 16, 2020 by Art V Quote Link to comment

I used that tool daily in Acad for schematic level stuff, and for getting room sizes right Quote Link to comment
