Accurate measurements don’t just help you price a job, they also help you justify your bid to prospects and avoid costly rework later. On Plato, you can view layer-wise measurements for each property directly on your mobile device.
What is the Layers Panel?
When you open a property in Plato, you’ll see a panel at the bottom of the screen. The Layers section within this panel shows:
- Measured features on the site
- Parcel information
- Imagery details
- Layer-specific measurements
Steps to View Layer-Wise Measurements
1. Open Your Property Map
- From the dashboard, locate your property.
- Use Search or filter existing properties if needed.
- Or go directly to the property using Open your property map
2. Tap the Layers Panel
- Look for the Layers icon in the bottom panel
- Tap to expand the list of features measured on the property
3. Select a Layer to View Measurements
- Tap any layer name to see its measurement details
- You’ll see values such as square footage, linear feet, or counts depending on the feature
Alternate Option: Tap the Map
You can also tap directly on a mapped feature (e.g., a turf area or tree icon) to instantly view its measurement data on the screen.
