Scale Ruler – This mode allows taking measurements using the rolling wheel and will automatically convert the measurement into different English and metric units or different scales. This mode of operation could be used to convert a measurement on a scale drawing with various scale settings to a different length (probably only useful for scale drawings with no dimensions or smaller items that would be up-scaled to a larger size). Point Scanner – This mode utilizes the tripod and allows creating a point by point 2-D scan of a room by rotating the device. The scan can be exported from the device to the app.Ĭurve Scanner – Similar to the point scanner, this mode utilizes the tripod to map a 2-D curved shape by rotating the device. The scan can be exported from the device to the app. Level – This mode is a two dimensional bubble level when the device is sitting flat on a surface, or a one dimensional level when on its side. Protractor – This mode allows measurement of an angle based on movement of the rotating wheel using the laser as a reference point. The device also has two “ Pro-Laser” modes of operation: Note that a straight edge protractor attachment is also available to allow direct measurement without the laser (this attachment has to be purchased separately from Hozo Design). Pythagorean – This allows determination of the third side of a right triangle based on two measurements. Units – Allows choosing one of two options mm,cm,m (metric units), and in,ft,yd (English units) The “ Settings” option provides three screens for adjustment of the device options: This could be used to measure the height or width of a component indirectly.Īrea Mode – This will calculate the area of a rectangular shape based on two measurements. Scales – Allows selecting one of four types of scale options US-ARCH, US-ENG, METRIC-ARCH, and METRIC-ENG. These represent US (aka English) or metric units in either Architectural or Engineering scales. This provides different choices for scaling options in the “Scale Ruler” mode. In US mode, the ARCH option scales fractional inches up to a foot. The ENG option scales 1″ up to feet (250 ft maximum). The main screen is a drawing grid (screenshot on the left above) that can be used to manually create diagrams, or modify imported scans (from the Point Scanner or Curve Scanner modes). Some rudimentary drawing tools are provided to allow modification to the imported scans. Selecting “New Project” on the main screen brings up a window that allows creating a new project (right screenshot above).īy selecting the unit label on the main screen (“Inch” in this case), a dropdown menu appears that allows changing units (middle screenshot above).
