Delta:
The sixth measurement option is the delta measurement. It will allow you to place 2 points, it will then give you the regular distance between these 2 points, but also and above all the values of the X, Y and Z axes.
The Z value being the difference in height between the 2 points, this measurement is unofficially called “height”.
The X value corresponds to the difference on the East/West axis.
The Y value corresponds to the difference on the North/South axis.

Floor area:
The seventh measurement option is floor area measurement. It will allow you to place as many points as you want, giving you the distance between each one as well as the floor space of the drawn area. The area calculation does not take the Z axis into account, allowing you to get the exact ground area even if your points are not 100% perfectly placed on the ground.

Area:
The eighth measurement option is area measurement. It will allow you to drop as many points as you want, giving you the distance between each one as well as the area of the drawn area. The first 3 points that you release will be the reference of the plan, which will be used by all the following points. Once the surface orientation is set, there is no way to change it. We therefore recommend that you place the first 3 points to correctly create this surface, then move them.
