Create a length measurement with multiple points

The following information applies to both the Perimeter and the Polylength tools, as these tools function similarly.

• The Perimeter tool can be used to measure the total length of the perimeter.

• The Polylength tool can be used to measure the distances between each point as well as the total length.

Learn more about the Polylength and Perimeter tools in the Revu Help Guide.

Measure with the Perimeter or Polylength tool:

1. Go to Tools > Measure > Perimeter or Polylength.
2. Select all points of the object to be measured.
3. To complete the measurement, select the original point. Or, to create the markup without closing the shape, press Enter or double-click.

Create curves in your measurement while placing points

1. Go to Tools > Measure > Perimeter or Polylength.
2. Select a point on the object to be measured. To create a curve at the next point, hold Ctrl and drag away from the point. Once you have the desired curve, release the mouse.

Create curves in an existing measurement:

1. Right-click the line, and select Convert to Arc.
   To convert a control point to a curve, right-click the control point and go to Control Point > Convert Control Point to Curve.
2. Drag the curve's control points to match the shape of the object you want to measure.

1. Right-click an endpoint and select Resume 'Perimeter Measurement' or Resume 'Polylength Measurement'.
   

2. Select the additional measurement points.

3. To complete the measurement, select the original point. Or, to create the markup without closing the shape, press Enter or double-click.
