Reality Ruler

Good accuracy given it's in mixed reality, desperately needs a few things:

A: To be collaborated with and built in to the app "Visual Scale". Probably a no go but a boy can dream

B: DESPERATELY needs a SNAP TO feature! Consider adding a special section for a point called a snap-point & snap-line where the users ray casts or controller snaps to a point/line if it gets within a certain distance of said point (then provide a toggle switch to turn snapping on and off) - this would make setting up grid lines for things like laying out pendant lights on a job site much more intuitive and has real commercial value! (should also have things like forced 90 degree triangles etc that expand and contract along the opposite/adjacent)

C: for imperial offer a unit option that does them by fractions (ie displays 5-5/8" instead of a decimal point displayed)

D: laser level, which basically acts as an ultra thin rectangle to the ceiling and floor of the space (this is actually already doable using the cuboid function but isn't nearly as clean, it should ideally be parallel to the walls detected in the space & this is a humongous missed opportunity on the part of Meta's own layout app.

E: color swatcher of 6 standard colors as well as the color dials for measurements so they can be consistently colored from measurement to measurement based on grouping.

Great app! I'm already blown away by its real world applications. Let me know if you'd like some real in field bug testing & videos done I'd be happy to do it for free as a beta tester!

Hi
I find this app very interesting and has good potential. There some annoying issues that could be resolved
1. Selecting the function that is required uses the 'red ball' to make a selection. This does not always work and I find I have to hit the function several times with the 'red ball' before it is selected. Would it not be better to be able to use the top joysticks on the controller to select and make a function active.

2. If I want to undo my last action again I have to use the 'red ball' to make the undo selection . Would it not be better to use one of the controller buttons as a dedicated undo /redo function.

3. when scanning spaces it appears the system cannot cope with sloping ceilings or sloping floors. is there a way around this?

4. I have found out that I can create several spaces to overcome the problem of the limited safe space size. I have managed to go around the outside of my house and scan the exterior but I cannot create one large safe pass through space. I could however create several spaces and then just walk between them as I measured my exterior walls.

5. it would be useful to be able to remove furniture scans to leave an empty room for simply getting the areas and dimensions of a room.

thanks for your hard work so far

Every time I start it, it shows me all the walls, cabinets and furniture in the room. It would be nice to be able to delete everything. I went to the tutorial again and looked in the Room Objects and the Save Objects but both were empty. Yet all the walls and furniture are still showing in the room. Also it is unclear how to select items or which button to use on the menu items to select them. Lots of promise here but but it is rough to select things and there are too many measurements of things in my front room that I would like to delete

It's a welcome added functionality to the HMD.
Need's a lot of UI polishing but it's intuitive enough right now, and the tutorial helps if you get lost.

I downloaded this app to measure how long an Ethernet cable would have to be to connect my PC to my router. This app allowed me to measure the distance of every step in routing the cable. However after drawing the run with the line tool I couldn't find a way to automatically add the lengths together so I had to wander round with my calculator to manually add the lengths of the lines together. I can see to ways to do this better 1. An overview of already drawn lines in the menu that shows the sum of all lengths or preferably 2 a compound line tool that allows you too draw a series of straight lines and give you the total distance of all of them.
Also to use the app to its full potential I had to disable the headset boundary however this is something that is due to the way meta designed the boundary system and no fault of the devs.

This needs an option for left-handed users.
Other than that, it's very cool and useful.

But it definitely needs a few more of its edges rounded.

It can be tough to measure objects, as you can't influence the height of the endpoint of a line.
So it can jump up and down, based on what the camera sees.
that makes you measure a diagonal, when you try to measure a straight edge of an object like a bed.

Also, it constantly shows your boundaries when you get near, even though you're always in passthrough when using it.
The boundaries shouldn't even be active.

But the actual measuring is still really precise and easy, when it works.
It just currently only works perfectly on empty surfaces, inside your boundaries.

Already great for a free app, and a great way to measure rooms and objects.
