Once activated, you'll see options to switch between measuring distance and area.

You will see multiple measurement options including: * **Length (m)**: Measure linear distance in meters by clicking and dragging between points. * **Length (ft)**: Measure linear distance in feet for projects requiring imperial units. * **Area (m²)**: Draw a shape to calculate the enclosed area in square meters. * **Area (ft²)**: Draw a shape to calculate the enclosed area in square feet. * **Undo**: Remove the most recent shape in your current measurement sequence. * **Clear All**: Erase all existing measurements from the scene.

To add a measurement to the environment, simply click one of the four available measurement options. Use left-click to place each point in the scene. Once you've finished placing all points, press left-shift to confirm and finalize the measurement.
