By selecting an individual wall, the app allows you to measure either the inside or outside dimension of the wall. Now it was time to let the technology work. The detailed drawing is shown below: Fast and Efficientīy the way, the two drawing processes took less than 2 minutes to create. The app changes the dimensions to account for the wall thicknesses, but they values still have nothing to do with the actual dimensions of the trailer. If you select convert, the drawing is changed into a detailed drawing of the same information that you created in Quick Sketch, except this detailed drawing is redrawn to scale with wall thicknesses. The next step with the BOSCH Professional GLM 50 C Laser Measure was to ‘convert’ the Quick Sketch into a Detailed Drawing by pressing the icon in the upper middle of the screen that opens a dialog box that warns you that you cannot reverse the conversion process. Note that there is nothing accurate about the dimensions shown on the initial Quick Sketch. This type of sketch generally replicates the number of rooms and configuration for the task. Now I had a baseline against to work for testing out the GLM 50C and MeasureOn application software. I started out by making what BOSCH calls a ‘Quick Sketch’. and I had the information in about a half an hour. You have seen the carriage.īottom-line quantity was approximately 407 sq ft. This is a A Tale About a Horse Drawn Carriage vs a Tesla. The engineer’s spreadsheet and hand sketch are each shown below: The process took 33 minutes from start to receipt of the final document. He made an excel spreadsheet, scanned the sketch and emailed me the results. He did a quick hand drawn sketch as I had requested. The engineer broke out a tape measure and hand measured each room. The trailer has three interconnected rectangular rooms with two internal partitions to separate them. I asked him to measure up the overall floor area in the trailer, that is shown, below: In addition, I requested a spreadsheet and a sketch for the area calculations, but I did not tell him why or ask him to pay particular attention to the request. This morning, I decided to do a mini-test, pitting my newly found knowledge, MeasureOn App and GLM 50C against conventional construction technology and reporting methods.Īt the construction trailer, I asked the field engineer to measure up our trailer for new carpet. Last night, I downloaded the MeasureOn app for iOS and got my iPad talking to the GLM 50C over Bluetooth in no time and with no hassles. Wow, the GLM 50C and the MeasureOn app takes this technology to a whole new level. Bosch Technology vs Old School Tape Measure In my work, I have taken curb-to-curb dimensions across busy city streets or across the Massachusetts Turnpike without the need to hire a detail cop to stop traffic, in order for me to pull a tape across the roadway. But one of the intriguing features of the GLM 50C is the MeasureOn App for smartphones that interfaces with it.Ĭurrently, I have used a BOSCH GLR225 for years and have found the laser measuring technology to be quite a step up in ease and accuracy. I am just getting familiar with this newly released laser measure. This morning, I thought I would have some fun at work, and try out the new BOSCH Professional GLM 50 C Laser Measure.
