Transfer measurements to stages

Move measurements within a stage or to a different stage.

Updated this week

Groundplan allows you to transfer item quantities between different counts, lengths or areas. This can be within the same or different stage, or to a stage on another plan. There are many different scenarios where transfer can be used.

⚠️Warning: Measurements can only be transferred to existing stages, and measurements. Page size determines the size of the symbols, when transferring between pages.

You can only transfer counts to counts, lengths to lengths and areas to areas.

Ensure the stage to send the measurements to is already present.
