Incorrect area measurement of side wall #21

Closed rajanidulal closed 4 years ago

Hello,

I am using PotreeDesktop to calculate the area of a room. While calculating the area of items on the floor or ceiling, it gives the correct measurement. However, when I tried to calculate the area of an item on the wall or from side view, it does not give me the correct area. I tried rotating and measuring from different angles but the area is still incorrect. Can anyone please help me through this?

Thank you!

This is due to the core Potree area measurement only taking x & y coordinates into account. For reference, see the getArea() method found in /src/utils/Measure.js around L516.
