Measurement 2D

Use your 2D data from files such as DWG to do measurements with 100% accuracy!

Measurement Center Line

Use Center lines to measure the closest distance to any point in the model.

Remember to pin the center line in the measurement tool before selecting another point.

Measurement – Inner bottom, Outer Top

Click on any pipe to get automatic measurements showing slope, slope direction and more. In addtition, you are now able to see inner bottom and outer top measurements.

Measurement Parametric

When the data is parametric, it is possible to get additional information such as slope, width, height, area and more.

Measurement snap

Use the advanced measuring tool of Novorender to snap to corners, measure between objects or entire surfaces and much more. At Novorender we measure using the brep data, so the measurements are always 100% correct!
