The linear measuring tool can be used at any time by pressing the A Button on the HP Reverb controller or the Side Grip Button on the HTC Vive controller.  When in measure mode, the laser pointer turns yellow when hovering over a measurable point.  It will turn red if the laser doesn't hit anything measurable. TruView VR only allows for one measurement at a time. 

  • Setup icons and pop-up panels are not measurable.  GeoTags and point-clouds are measurable.

  • When in measure mode, the laser pointer will snap to the center of a point-cloud point, or to the true position of a GeoTag.

  • Measurement labels are always visible and are never occluded.

  • Measurement endpoints are always visible and are never occluded.

  • Measurement lines can be occluded, but the occluded parts are rendered as dashed lines.
