What's new? Measurement mode is a new way to view and navigate measurements directly on the 3D model in Workspace. It replaces the measurement workflow in Design Pro and gives you a clearer, more efficient way to review Hover’s full measurement dataset.
You will see measurements displayed directly on the model and they will update automatically as you select different trades and materials. You can also click any area on the model to view its measurements, which helps you locate information quickly and avoid selection errors.
Overview
The new Measurements mode in Workspace creates a single workspace where the 3D model and measurement data are shown together. Measurements appear on the model immediately and adjust as you switch between categories, giving you both visual context and detailed values without navigating between multiple tools.
How to access Measurements mode:
You can enter Measurement Mode from either the project details page or from within Workspace, depending on where you are in your workflow.
From the Project Details Page

Note: This update is part of a phased release and may not be available to all users yet. If your experience looks different, or you’d like early access, please contact our Support team.
Navigating Measurements mode
When Measurement Mode opens, Walls is selected by default and measurements appear directly on the model. Below is an overview of the core tools you will use in Measurements mode.
Menu
Menu
The left-hand panel complements the model by displaying segment-level information and totals for the active selection. This structure makes it easy to understand both the layout of the model and the measurements behind each surface.
Tap each trade to quickly switch between areas such as:
Walls
Roof
Siding
Trim, fascia, and soffits
Openings including windows, doors, and garages
The model and the measurement list will update to reflect your selection.
Facet selection
Facet selection
You can click any wall, roof facet, trim, or opening on the 3D model to reveal its specific measurements in the panel, making it easy to find the details you need.
Double-clicking any area of the model zooms you into that section so you can review its measurements in more detail.
Action bar
Action bar
Any selection you make in the left panel or on the 3D model appears in the action bar so you always know what is selected.
From the action bar, you can select all segments in the category, clear the selection, or view the materials applied within that category. Choosing a filter adjusts the view to all the facets with that material applied.
Rotate the model
Rotate the model
You can rotate and zoom-in on the 3D model to view the property from any angle, making it easier to see all measurements in context.

Frequently asked questions
Can I draw a custom line measurement?
Can I draw a custom line measurement?
Not yet. The measure function for custom line segments is not available in this initial release. However, it will be coming in early Q1 2026.
Can I download the measurement PDF?
Can I download the measurement PDF?
Yes. You can access the original measurement PDF at any time from the left-hand panel or from the Project Details Page.
Do design changes update the PDF?
Do design changes update the PDF?
No. Design choices update the measurements shown on the 3D model in Workspace, but the downloadable PDF always reflects the original scan and model.
Why this is better
Measurements mode gives you a clearer, faster way to work with Hover’s measurement data so you can move from scan to certainty with less effort. It brings the full measurement dataset into one organized workspace, helping you prevent errors, reduce waste, and protect your margins.
