Length Element

The length element allows you to measure distances on the site as well as record assets that have a length property such as kerbs and fences. Lengths elements can be closed to measure perimeters. It is worth noting that all earthworks elements report a boundary outline perimeter in the input data summary so there is no need to trace a line around any earthworks element.

The properties that are exposed for the length element are summarised below.

	Boundary Boundary button provides access to the editor wherein the definition points can be defined for the points which define the area. Note: The 'Closed Line' state (whether to add an extra segment connecting the start and end points) can be changed here too Colours Here you can set the Main and Text colour of the length. This can be useful for visually separating different Length measurements or making them easier to see against the colours of the topography.
