Camera drone flying over a forested site

MC360 // Tools & Converters

MEASURE THE SITEFROM THE AIR.

Roofs, lots, stockpiles — the tape measure loses to anything big, steep or dangerous. Upload drone footage, calibrate against one known dimension, and tap points on the video to pull linear feet, square footage and acreage. Free, no login.

Run your own numbers

Process

Three steps. Zero guesswork.

01

Enter your measurements

Length, width, depth, pitch — the numbers you already pace off on site. No blueprints, no signup, no spreadsheet.

02

Calculate materials

The calculator applies the right formulas, density factors and waste allowances for your specific material.

03

Get your results

Squares, yards, tons, boards or sheets — a clean order list you can hand straight to the supplier.

Field Guide

FROM FOOTAGE TO FIELD MEASUREMENTS

CH.01

Calibrate against one known dimension

Every measurement starts with a truth: pick anything in frame whose real size you know — a 6-foot fence panel, a 10-foot gate, a standard door — and mark its two ends. That single calibration converts every other pixel distance on the same plane into feet.

  • Mark one known-length object
  • Bigger references calibrate better
  • Recalibrate per plane or altitude
CH.02

Tap points, get distances and areas

Tap along a ridge line for linear feet, around a roof plane or lot boundary for square footage, or across a parcel for acreage. The tool totals each path as you go, so a full roof outline is minutes of tapping instead of an afternoon on a ladder.

  • Linear paths: ridges, eaves, fences
  • Closed paths: roof planes, lots
  • Acreage for parcels and fields
CH.03

Send measurements straight to a calculator

Measured numbers rarely stop at measuring — they feed a material order. Send-to-Calc pushes your dimensions directly into the matching MatCalc360 calculator with the fields pre-filled, so a measured roof becomes a shingle count in one hop.

  • Pre-fills the target calculator
  • Roof → roofing calculator
  • Lot → stone or asphalt calculator
