Quick Tip: The Two-Line Area Tool for Areas Across Different Views

Post by korek » Mon Dec 15, 2025 1:04 pm

The Two-Line Area Tool in MeasureCAD is designed to help you calculate areas when the required length and width measurements are separated on your drawing page (imagine views of a sloped roof). It works by multiplying the length of two independent line segments on the current page.

Tool vs. Formula
While you can measure two lines separately and use a custom formula in the Table of Quantities to multiply them for the same numerical result, the Two-Line Area Tool has one key advantage: it visualizes the resulting calculated area directly on your drawing, making verification fast and easy.

Do you prefer the speed of the tool or the flexibility of the formula?
