What's new? Custom Measure lets you draw your own distance lines directly on the 3D model in Workspace. It replaces the old M-Tool from DesignPro and gives you a simpler, more flexible way to check distances while reviewing a property.
You can add multiple measurements at once, keep them visible as you move around the model, and adjust or remove them whenever needed. This makes it easier to double-check distances without breaking your flow.
How to access Custom Measure
You can access Custom Measure in Measurement Mode within Workspace.
From the Project Details Page, Select the Measurements card
Choose the 3D option to open Workspace in Measurements mode
Select the Measure button (ruler) in the action bar
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.
Create a custom measurement
While in Custom Measure mode:
Click on the model to place a starting point
Drag to create a line measurement
Release to place the measurement on the model
You can create as many custom measurements as you'd like
The measurement(s) stay visible as you rotate, zoom, or continue reviewing the property. You can also view custom line measurements in 3D mode to see the relevant applied materials.
Edit or remove a custom measurement
Click any existing measurement to select it.
Select the edit icon
Drag the endpoints to reposition or resize the measurement
Tap the check icon to confirm your changes and lock the measurement in place
If you no longer need the measurement, select it again and choose the trash icon to delete it from the model.
Why this is better
Custom Measure lets you place and adjust reference distances right on the 3D model, so you can check what you need without guessing or jumping between tools.
Measurements stay visible as you rotate, zoom, and navigate the model
Multiple custom measurements can be placed and viewed at the same time
Measurements can be edited or removed at any point, reducing rework
Reference distances remain in context instead of being recreated or lost
Having custom measurements right on the model makes it easier to verify distances, avoid rework, and move forward knowing the numbers make sense.
