Adjust Surface Dimensions

Override area dimensions on individual surfaces by editing length, width, height or switching to direct sqft/lnft input.

PaintScout lets you override area dimensions on individual surfaces so each surface can have its own measurements without affecting other surfaces in the same area.

Surfaces automatically inherit dimensions from their parent area. Override these by opening the surface and editing the length, width, and height.

How do you switch to direct sqft or lnft input?

1. To input a direct square footage or linear footage amount instead of length/width/height, click the switch to sqft/lnft button on the surface.

If you don't see the switch button, contact us to have it enabled.

2. Now, you can customize the sqft or lnft for this particular surface without affecting the measurements of other surfaces in the area.
