What is the Ruler tool?
The Ruler tool lets you measure custom lengths and areas directly on the AI Map.
Where can I find the Ruler tool?
Open a property and look at the bottom-right corner of the AI map and in a proposal --> Add Install. Click the Ruler icon to turn it on.
How do I turn the Ruler off?
Click the Ruler icon again to turn it off.
What can I measure with the Ruler?
You can measure driveways, walkways, lawns, beds, curved areas, irregular shapes, or any custom area not already detected by AI.
How do I draw with the Ruler?
You can draw in two ways:
Click to place nodes for precise lines and polygons
Press and hold to free-form draw curves and irregular shapes
Can I measure both length and area?
Yes. The Ruler shows segment length, enclosed area, and perimeter when the shape is closed.
How do I measure an area?
Draw around the area and close the shape by connecting the last point back to the starting point. Duranta will show the area in sq ft and the perimeter in ft.
Can I create a service from a measured area?
Yes. After closing a shape, click + Create service. Duranta will create a maintenance service and automatically apply the measured area as the service area.
What happens if I turn the Ruler off?
Turning the Ruler off clears unsaved measurements. Create a service first if you want to keep the measured area.
Why don’t I see the Ruler tool?
The Ruler is not available while adding a maintenance service in a proposal flow.
Is the Ruler available on mobile?
The enhanced Ruler is currently available in the web app. Mobile support is coming next.
On mobile, you can still measure a regular length, but enclosed perimeter and square-foot area measurements are not available yet.
