First things first...

Accurate Measurements Start With Calibration
​Getting your job done right is dependent upon how accurate you can be. Calibrating correctly at the start of your project is the most important thing you can do to ensure you'll get the most accuracy while measuring. Click here for a quick start guide.

Always Draw With Rectangle Mode

Measuring Around Objects Is Easy
​Don't get slowed down by obstacles. If there are immovable objects blocking your view, there are several ways you can capture the perimeter.  The easiest way is drawing a rectangle on the ground and then push and pulling the segments to align with any portion of the baseboard that you can see like in this example: https://app.box.com/s/dc7fv62w0iwxdksugi9duocpydekdm7j
