Measure Desktop Release Notes

Measure 17.2 was released to all users on Tuesday, May 27, 2025.

Features

Blueprint.AI

Import a digital blueprint, scale it, and then utilize advanced artificial intelligence to trace all rooms in less than 2 minutes. For Measure Premier users, navigate to the Blueprint tab and click "Detect Rooms" to opt in to a free 30-day trial of this exciting new feature!

Unlimited use of Blueprint.AI requires a subscription to the new Measure "Premier with Blueprint.AI" edition.

Combine All Sheets

This new Worksheet view consolidates instances of material used across multiple sheets into a single line 

Worksheet Line Groups

Line groups help with Worksheet organization and enhance its readability. View and maintain Line Groups by going to Measure Options > General > Worksheet & Quotes and clicking the Line Groups button. 

Note: Users who are linked to RFMS will automatically have access to any Line Groups that originated in RFMS. These users are only able to access and assign RFMS line groups and cannot create their own within the Measure application. Non-RFMS-linked users can build and maintain their own Line Group library directly within Measure.

Nested Add-ons

It is now possible to assign a product used as an add-on to another product used as an add-on.

Seam Change Preview

See how changes to the seam layout will affect your cut plan and waste factor in real time. Enable this option by checking the "Preview seam changes box in Measure Options > Estimating > Seams and Cuts

Multi-Split Tool

Split a single room along multiple lines to create rooms. This tool can be found by opening the dropdown menu next to the regular Split tool:

How to:

  1. Left click to begin drawing a line over the selected room
  2. Left click again to end the line.
  3. Continue drawing lines under which the room should be divided.
  4. Once all division lines have been drawn over the selected room, press Enter and the room will be split.

TIP: Pressing Tab "lifts the pen", so to speak, and allows you to start a new line at any other location.
