What is the measuring tool
The measuring tool is an instrument available in the Tygron Platform meant for consistent and multi-dimensional data retrieval from grid overlays. It's part of the session interface, and can be found in the overlay menu.
How to use the measuring tool
How to make a point measurement:
- Select any grid overlay in the overlay menu.
- Select the measuring tool icon (signified by a ruler) in the overlay menu, located between the zoom buttons and the overlay icons.
- Select the "Point Measurement" option (signified by a point) at the top of the measuring tool window.
- Click on the location in the 3D World where a measurement is desired.
- The graph in the measuring tool window now displays the value at location.
- If it's a grid overlay with timeframe functionality, the graph displays the value at that location over time.
How to make a line measurement:
- Select any grid overlay in the overlay menu.
- Select the measuring tool icon (signified by a ruler) in the overlay menu, located between the zoom buttons and the overlay icons.
- Select the "Line Measurement" option (signified by a point) at the top of the measuring tool window.
- Click on the location in the 3D world where one end of the measurement line should be placed.
- Click on the location in the 3D world where the other end of the measurement line should be placed.
- The graph in the measuring tool window now displays the values along the placed measurement line.
Note that when using a line measurement, the displayed values are only the values found along the line at the timeframe currently displayed by the grid overlay.
