Read selection calculations
Check the measurements available for the current editor’s selected objects.
Open Calculations from the calculator control in the status bar. The selection’s supported geometry determines which values are available. These are geometric measurements, not a site survey, construction specification or automatic approval of an estimate.
Select the objects
Select the eligible objects in the active editor. The calculation scope follows that editor rather than adding objects selected in a different workspace. Inline measurements in the status bar show common selection totals.
Open the detailed readout
Open Calculations to inspect the supported radius, length/perimeter, area and volume readouts. A radius can be shown for a compatible radial selection; the tool does not add unlike radii into a meaningful total.
Distinguish plan and terrain measurements
Where supported terrain data changes the measured route or surface area, the readout can show on-terrain values alongside the plan totals. Do not confuse a top-down area with the surface area of the same boundary draped over a slope.
Read the units and current geometry
Values use the project’s selected measurement formatting. Check the selected object types, geometry and terrain data before using the totals. The supported measurements update when their source geometry changes.
