- Move the reticule [] to the starting point of the measurement.
- Tap the plus sign [].
- Move the reticule [] to the ending point of the measurement.

- Repeat steps three through six to measure the remaining lines.
Each end of a line acts like a magnet and snaps the reticle to it if the reticle is close. You can start or end a new line on any end of an existing line by moving the reticule [] close enough to the end of the line that the reticle snaps to it, then tap the plus sign [
] to either start or complete the line segment.

This allows for easy measuring of height or width and helps ensure easy measuring of surfaces that might be difficult to measure, such as heights on a wall. To measure the height on a wall, mark a point on the floor, move the reticule [] to follow the vertical line up until you reach the desired stopping point and click the plus sign [] to end the line segment.
