Area Survey App

Use this application to make an exact plot of a room, a property or any two dimensional area. Measure distances and angles, calculate side lengths, diagonals and angles. Export the plot to Sketchup or other CAD systems.

How to Use

  1. Make the reference line A - B (a virtual or physical line between two points)
  2. Measure the distance A - B
  3. Mark measure points clockwise from 1 to 9
  4. Measure distances from control points A and B to each measure point
  5. Click Calculate to generate the survey plot

Plot Colors:

  • Control line A - B: black
  • Measured lines: purple
  • Calculated sides and angles: red
  • Calculated diagonals: green

Calculated Results

After entering your measurements and clicking Calculate, the following will be computed:

  • Calculated Angles: Internal angles at each measured point
  • Calculated Sides: Side lengths connecting consecutive points
  • Calculated Diagonals: Diagonal distances across the surveyed area
