Map Metra

Map Measure 1: Measure areas, lengths and counts on aerial imagery

Map Measure takes quantities directly off a top-down aerial image of any address — the fastest way to price existing conditions such as hardstand, driveways, landscaping and site areas.

How to

  1. 1

    Open the site

    Open the project's Map Measure tab, or search any address. A search not tied to a project is a free measure and is not saved.

  2. 2

    Choose a tool

    Pick Area to trace a surface, Distance or Perimeter for a length, or Count to tally items.

  3. 3

    Trace accurately

    Zoom in and click each corner exactly on the edge you are measuring, then finish the shape.

  4. 4

    Read the results

    Check the area and perimeter in the measurement panel and the Measurement List; turn labels on to annotate.
