# Measurement

## Overview

The Measurement tool allows users to accurately measure distances within the SiEGA environment. 

## Features

* **Measurement Modes:** Switch between measuring distance (in feet or meters) and area (in square feet or square meters) to fit your project needs. 
* **Real-Time Display**: See live measurement updates in a central display box as you interact with the tool.
* **Area Calculation:** Easily draw custom shapes to calculate the enclosed area in your preferred unit, whether square feet or square meters.

## How to Use

To get started, open the Measurement tool by selecting it from the main toolbar on the right side of your screen. 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.
