Measuring Distances between Entities

• The Buildings tool enables measurement of
  distances between entities on the oblique images.
  
• You can use this tool to measure the distance
  between buildings and other structures.
• MultiVision also takes the differences in height
  and/or elevation into consideration when making
  the measurement and displays them for your use.

Measuring Terrain

• Use the Terrain tool to measure ground distance,
  while taking into consideration the topography of
  the area being measured. The Terrain tool can be
  used to measure elevations (such as hillsides,
  etc.) as well as road and route distances. It can
  also be used to measure the perimeter of
  geographic areas.
• Terrain can be measured point-to-point, or in a
  segmented line. When measuring terrain in a
  segmented line, the cumulative distance (the sum
  of all segments) appears after the third click.

To measure terrain

• In the toolbar, click the Terrain button. The
  Terrain icon appears near the cursor indicating
  that you are now measuring terrain.
• With the mouse, click the starting point for your
  measurement. A dot appears at that point,
  indicating that measuring has begun.
• Drag the mouse to the next point and click. The
  measured distance appears.
• If you have completed your measurement, drag the
  mouse away from the line that appears and
  double-click.
• If you are continuing to measure, drag the mouse
  and click at the next point. Continue until you
  have completed your measurement, then drag the
  mouse away and double-click.

Measuring Air Distance

• There are two types of air distance measurements
  
• Air (type 1) The distance between two points
  as the crow flies (net measurement).
• Air (type 2) The distance between two points
  measured taking the elevation of each point into
  consideration.
• Use the Air tool to measure air distance between
  two points. The Air type button in the toolbar
  allows you to toggle between types 1 and 2. The
  default position is Air Type 1. Click the button
  to switch to Air Type 2.
• Like Terrain, air distance can be measured
  point-to-point, or in a segmented line. When
  measuring air distance in a segmented line, the
  cumulative distance (the sum of all segments)
  appears after the third click.

To measure air distance

• In the toolbar, click the Air button. The Air
  icon appears near the cursor indicating that you
  are now measuring terrain.
• To switch between Air measurement types, click
  the Air Type button. The icon changes to indicate
  the type of measurement.
• With the mouse, click the starting point for your
  measurement. A dot appears at that point,
  indicating that measuring has begun.
• Drag the mouse to the next point and click. The
  measured distance appears.
• If you have completed your measurement, drag the
  mouse away from the line that appears and
  double-click.
• If you are continuing to measure, drag the mouse
  and click at the next point. Continue until you
  have completed your measurement, then drag the
  mouse away and double-click.
