In the Aholo Editor, you can use the Measurement tool to obtain real-world dimensions within your model.

With “Auto-correct”, you can also adjust the overall scale to ensure more accurate results.

Measurement Overview

Currently supported measurement types:

  • Ruler: Auto measure distance between two points

  • Path: Coming soon

  • Area: Coming soon

How to Measure Distance

1. Enable the Measurement Tool

  • Click “Ruler”

2. Set Measurement Points

  • Click the first point on the model

  • Click the second point

The system will automatically calculate the distance between the two points.

3. View Results

The measurement result will be displayed between the two points

One-Click Scale Calibration

If the measured result does not match the real-world size, you can calibrate the model scale by entering a reference value.

1. Select Reference Points

  • Choose two points with a known real-world distance
    (e.g., between two walls, edges of an object, etc.)

2. Enter the Real Measurement

  • Click “Auto-correct”

  • Enter the actual distance between the two points (target value)

3. Apply Calibration

  • The system will automatically adjust the scale of the entire model

  • Click “Save” to apply and store the calibrated scale

Result:

  • All measurements will update accordingly

  • The model scale will align with real-world dimensions

Accuracy Tips

To achieve better precision:

1. Choose Proper Reference Points

  • Select two points that are relatively far apart

  • Prefer points with accurately measurable real-world distances

  • Ensure the points are clearly visible in the model

2. Avoid Common Errors

  • Do not select blurry or incomplete areas

  • Avoid regions with poor reconstruction quality
