Abstract:
A measurement system intended for use in the existing structures which comprises of a distance measurement device, an angle measurement device which is capable of measuring angles in two-dimensional or three-dimensional space, and a software interface which is capable of receiving, evaluating recording, transferring and processing measured angles and distances in conjunction with an array of user-defined, programmed, known, or assumed to be known angles and distances. Measurement system is to be used in conjunction with a measurement algorithm which is to be followed by the user. Measurement system records dimensional values between at least two objects within measured space as well as an angular reference between the line of sight of the measurement device and one or more reference axes of the measured space in two-dimensional or three-dimensional space in one or more operations. Measurement system evaluates measured angles and distances in an arrangement with one or more known geometric properties of the measured space, as defined by the user, programmed, known or assumed to be known. Measurement system either displays derived data or transfers data for further use to the estimating software program, CADD software program, or a database for various purposes.
