Accurate indoor measurements made easy with Pointorama
In the world of surveying, architecture and real estate, time is precious — and precision is non-negotiable. Whether you’re measuring spaces for a renovation, preparing documentation for a sale or analyzing structural details, the ability to quickly and reliably extract dimensions is essential. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a powerful new feature in our floorplan tool: direct, intuitive measurements based on your point cloud.
With just a few clicks, you can calculate essential distances — no extra tools, no exporting, no hassle. It’s speed and accuracy, built right into your workflow.
Measure what matters instantly
Forget manual calculations and disconnected tools — with our new measurement feature, you can select any two points in your floorplan and instantly calculate the distance between them. This includes:
- Door height and width – ideal for accessibility planning, furnishing or compliance checks
- Floor-to-ceiling distance – essential for lighting design, HVAC setup or spatial calculations
- Wall-to-wall spacing – perfect for layout decisions or verifying usable area
These measurements are extracted directly from the point cloud that underpins your digital floorplan. That means what you see is based on real-world data — not assumptions or approximations.
Smarter measurements with intelligent plane detection for guaranteed accuracy
What sets Pointorama apart is its unique way of handling measurements. Instead of relying on manual precision to locate the exact point in a complex point cloud, our system uses advanced wall, floor and ceiling detection to understand the geometry of your space. It automatically recognizes the plane your measurement belongs to — so you’re not just clicking points, you’re selecting surfaces. This eliminates guesswork entirely: even if you click slightly off, the tool knows what you meant. The result? Perfectly accurate measurements, driven by smart interpretation of real-world structure.
Easily share with colleagues in the field or at the office
Once you’ve taken your measurements, sharing them is seamless. Whether your colleague is on-site or working remotely, everyone can access the same plan, the same data and the same results — all in one place
- Fewer miscommunications
- No need for manual note transfers
- A smooth handover between survey and decision-making
Pointorama keeps your team aligned, wherever they are.
Stay consistent with fixed height measurements
Need standardized measurements across an entire property or project? With ‘fixed height mode’, you can lock your measurement plane to a specific height — such as 90 cm or 120 cm — and ensure every value is taken from the same horizontal level.
This consistency is ideal for:
- Generating professional reports
- Comparing rooms or floors
- Meeting industry regulations and technical standards
It’s a small feature that brings big structure to your data.
Save time and reduce errors
Measuring directly within your Pointorama floorplan removes the need for switching tools or revisiting sites. You work inside the environment where your point cloud already lives, extracting what you need in just a few seconds.
By reducing the number of steps in your workflow, you:
-
Eliminate the risk of transcription errors
-
Deliver faster results to clients and teams
-
Free up time for analysis and strategic decisions
It’s smarter surveying, from scan to solution.
Built for professionals who measure every day
This feature was designed with your workday in mind. Whether you’re:
- A surveyor, checking building geometry
- A real estate expert, creating technical plans
- An architect or planner, evaluating spatial layouts
- Part of a construction team, translating scans into action
You’ll find this measurement tool to be a reliable, timesaving addition to your Pointorama toolkit.
