DIY measurements

Need to measure small, segmented, or scattered areas of a property? DIY Measurements lets you do it yourself—quickly and accurately—without relying on external tools like Google Earth. This feature consolidates all your property maps in one place, helping you streamline your workflow while keeping everything organized.

Whether it's a few turf patches, mulch beds, or other specific property sections, this tool gives you full control over the measurement process.

Let’s walk through how to use it.

⁠

Step by step instructions: To Create an Order and Perform DIY Measurements

1. Enter the Property Address

Input the property address as usual.

This will load the necessary imagery of the location.

2. Start Drawing Your Parcels

Begin by drawing the required parcels or sections directly on the map.

Important: Do not select any features from the list at this stage.

The system will recognize this as a DIY measurement session, assigning 0 hours for system calculations since measurements are manually created.

3. Add a New Layer

Click the Add Layer button to define the type of area you want to measure:

Example: Choose Turf for grass sections or Mulch Beds for garden beds.

Once selected, proceed to Edit the layer.

4. Draw and Modify Areas

Use the Draw Tool to outline the specific area for the selected layer:

Click around the area to create polygons that match the shape of the section.

Double-click to finish the drawing of each polygon.

Adjust the drawn sections as needed to ensure they accurately represent the property.

5. Add More Layers (If Needed)

To include additional property features, repeat the process:

Add a new layer.

Select the type of feature.

Use the Draw Tool to create polygons for those areas.

6. Finalize the Measurement

Review all layers to confirm accuracy.

Save the draft view when satisfied with the measurements.
