Using measurement tools
Pictometry Online provides various tools for measuring objects visible in images. For example, you can measure the distance between two points, the elevation of the terrain, building heights, bearing, area, perimeter, and the coordinates of a point.
Measurement tools place temporary annotations (graphic results) on the image. For example, if you measure height, a line appears between the starting and ending points. The annotation disappears if you click a different tool or take a new measurement. You can also erase the temporary annotation from the screen by clicking the Clear temporary annotations button (the broom icon under the Help button).
Note: You can also use annotation tools to measure objects in images. For example, you can use the Circle Tool to both draw a circle and measure its radius, circumference, and area.
You can change the units of measure in which measurements are shown.
Tip: After you've selected a measurement tool, you can quickly pan the image by holding down the SPACEBAR. See "Panning while a tool is active."
