How do I measure the linear metres of joinery?

Trace each run with the Measure tool and MetreMate totals the linear metres, ready to price.

Can I measure joinery across the whole house?

Yes. Measure kitchens, laundries, vanities, robes, and studies, and keep each room on its own layer.

Do I need to print the plans?

No. Upload the PDF and measure on screen, with nothing to install.
