Overview of geometry types

The product provides predefined geometries that you can use for measuring,
constructing and defining. Which geometry you choose depends on the measuring
task.
The selected geometry specifies the type of geometry that is determined from the
captured measuring points.
The number of measuring points to be captured can be adjusted in the
settings of the product.
It is not possible to use fewer than the mathematically required
minimum number of points for the geometries.
