What measuring tool would be useful for you: measuring thickness of material layers? Measuring diameters of holes? Measurement lines between elements and to grid lines? Slope degrees and angular measurements? Georeference points and heights? … Feel free to let us know in a comment.

Good question, see my input in order of importance:
(If by measuring, we mean just measuring and not annotating)
- Between elements & grid lines
- Heights
- Diameters
- Slopes
- Georeferenced points
- Thickness of layers
Measuring thickness of material layers: (Not sure if I need to measure it, might as well be just inside the parameters)
Measuring diameters of holes: Hovering around borders of a circle reveals diameter/perimeter? Measurement lines between elements and grid lines? This is for me essential, beter if it’s aligned to the grid lines or to the element. Slope degrees and angular measurements: yes, if possible, also in %. Georeferenced points and heights. Georeferenced points in Lambert 72, only essential at reference point. Heights: TAW & also based on a reference level.
Hi @Andres_Martinez, thanks for sharing your ideas. I can let you know that some tools will already be available in Qonic by the end of the year. Since we find all your suggestions valuable, we will continue to develop them and release them in the near future.

Though the laser measure tool is very useful, I am missing a simple point-to-point measure tool. These come in many different variations. Some simply give the direct value, others give a decomposition in X, Y and Z.
Then there are those tools that try to give perpendicular values between parallel planes. Or between a point and a plain, …
That last one is very useful in my opinion.
hello @Johan_De_Cock , thank you for your input. We’ll be adding more functionality to our laser tool over time. And a point-to-point measurement tool is indeed something we need to add. I like the display of X, Y, Z and the short distance as you mentioned. Also the ‘absolute level’ of points is another thing we need to add, so you can measure for example that the absolute height of the bottom of a beam is 54m05. Another nice feature, measuring the thickness of material layers, is now close to release.
Measuring the perpendicular between a point and a plane or between two planes as you mentioned is now already possible.
Hi Dieter,
The perpendicular measurement you refer to, is part of the laser measure?
That is not entirely what I meant. It is nice in the example you show where the planes are parallel and about the same size. But it only works if the perpendicular line on the origin face touches the target face.
What I mean is that the point-to-point measuring will also look for perpendicular distance when used between to faces. And then it will work with any face. Also when there is other geometry in between. Or when the objects are on different building storeys, …
Hello @Johan_De_Cock , yes, I was refering to the Laser Measure tool. But I get your point now. I’ll add this to our ‘user requests’ list and will let you know when it’s added to Qonic.
