Tools
The Measure Distance tool calculates the distance between two sets of coordinates.
- On the floor plan, click on the starting point and the ending point of the area to be measured.
- The start and end sections will then populate with the coordinates.

Reset clears the start and end point to allow measuring a new set of points.
Close closes the tool.
