### Analysis of the elevator shaft

We will check the relative position of the elevator shaft.

Add a note next to the elevator shaft and complete its data:

- **Title**: Elevator shaft
- **Assigned to**: Builder
- **Description**: Bad positioning of the elevator shaft
- **Priority**: let Medium

Now click on **Add Measures** and define a limit box around the elevator shaft like the image below. Use **CTRL + Mouse wheel** to increase the size of the limit box. Note you can edit again the limit box later.

Area of interest

Thanks to the 3 predefined views, add measurements between the elevator shaft and the beams. You can either use the tool to add measures between points or between planes. Then, adjust and record the corresponding views for your report. It is possible to manage the visibility of objects

Measurements

Exit the tool by clicking **OK**. Here you can insert additional views and images from the disk or the webcam. You also can modify the note description: click **Edit info** and update the **Priority** to Low.

When finished, simply **Export the BCF** or open the [Report Editor](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-exportthefinalreport) to generate the PDF.
