Once it has been created, the axis-to-point azimuth measurement and verticality measurement functions become available. The tower axis is determined based **on previously measured points**. A single point is enough to determine the axis. Measurements can be taken both on the point cloud and on the 3D model.  **WARNING:** Only one tower axis can be created within a single project. Once it has been created, the automation tile becomes grayed out, and running the function again is not possible. To create a new axis, first delete the axis already assigned to the project.  **TIP:** You will find the Tower axis automation **in the project view**, in the Automations tab. It can be used only in the **3D view.**  [![axis\_tower\_axis\_measurement1](https://help.skysnap.com/hs-fs/hubfs/axis_tower_axis_measurement1.png?width=670&height=318&name=axis_tower_axis_measurement1.png)](https://help.skysnap.com/hubfs/axis_tower_axis_measurement1.png?hsLang=en) ### Steps for determining the axis 1\.  Add points with the **Add point** measurement tool.  The tower axis will be determined based on them. The measured points will be assigned to the appropriate folder in the Analytics tile.  [![axis\_points](https://help.skysnap.com/hs-fs/hubfs/axis_points.png?width=670&height=317&name=axis_points.png)](https://help.skysnap.com/hubfs/axis_points.png?hsLang=en) 2\.  Use the arrow to go back to the main panel.  [![axis\_points\_back](https://help.skysnap.com/hs-fs/hubfs/axis_points_back.png?width=670&height=320&name=axis_points_back.png)](https://help.skysnap.com/hubfs/axis_points_back.png?hsLang=en) 3\. Select the **Automations** tab.  [![axis\_automations](https://help.skysnap.com/hs-fs/hubfs/axis_automations.png?width=670&height=318&name=axis_automations.png)](https://help.skysnap.com/hubfs/axis_automations.png?hsLang=en) 4\.  Select the **Tower axis** automation.  [![axis\_tower\_axis\_measurement1](https://help.skysnap.com/hs-fs/hubfs/axis_tower_axis_measurement1.png?width=670&height=318&name=axis_tower_axis_measurement1.png)](https://help.skysnap.com/hubfs/axis_tower_axis_measurement1.png?hsLang=en) A window with the settings of the selected automation will appear.  5\. Enter **a name for the axis.**  [![axis\_tower\_axis\_measurement\_name1](https://help.skysnap.com/hs-fs/hubfs/axis_tower_axis_measurement_name1.png?width=670&height=378&name=axis_tower_axis_measurement_name1.png)](https://help.skysnap.com/hubfs/axis_tower_axis_measurement_name1.png?hsLang=en) 6\.  **Select the previously determined points** from the multi-select list . [![axis\_tower\_axis\_measurement\_points1](https://help.skysnap.com/hs-fs/hubfs/axis_tower_axis_measurement_points1.png?width=670&height=382&name=axis_tower_axis_measurement_points1.png)](https://help.skysnap.com/hubfs/axis_tower_axis_measurement_points1.png?hsLang=en)  Immediately after you click the **Create axis** button, the automation produces an axis determined from the indicated points. Additionally, **the axis geometry properties panel opens.**  [![axis\_done](https://help.skysnap.com/hs-fs/hubfs/axis_done.png?width=670&height=317&name=axis_done.png)](https://help.skysnap.com/hubfs/axis_done.png?hsLang=en)  The resulting axis can be found in the **Analytics** panel.  - [SkySnap Portal](https://help.skysnap.com/en/skysnap-portal?hsLang=en#main-content) - [First steps](https://help.skysnap.com/en/skysnap-portal?hsLang=en#first-steps) - [Organization management](https://help.skysnap.com/en/skysnap-portal?hsLang=en#organization-management) - [Site management](https://help.skysnap.com/en/skysnap-portal?hsLang=en#site-management) - [Tools & Features](https://help.skysnap.com/en/skysnap-portal?hsLang=en#tools-features) - [Project Management](https://help.skysnap.com/en/skysnap-portal?hsLang=en#project-management) - [FAQ](https://help.skysnap.com/en/skysnap-portal?hsLang=en#faq) - [Integrations](https://help.skysnap.com/en/skysnap-portal?hsLang=en#integrations) - [Technical release notes](https://help.skysnap.com/en/skysnap-portal?hsLang=en#technical-release-notes) - [Webinars](https://help.skysnap.com/en/webinars?hsLang=en#main-content) - [The drone effect in construction](https://help.skysnap.com/en/webinars?hsLang=en#the-drone-effect-in-construction) - [Drones in real estate](https://help.skysnap.com/en/webinars?hsLang=en#drones-in-real-estate) - [How to earn money using a drone](https://help.skysnap.com/en/webinars?hsLang=en#how-to-earn-money-using-a-drone) - [Mission](https://help.skysnap.com/en/webinars?hsLang=en#mission) - [Product updates](https://help.skysnap.com/en/webinars?hsLang=en#product-updates) [![SkySnap Logo - standard color-1](https://help.skysnap.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SkySnap%20Logo%20-%20standard%20color-1.png?width=180&height=63&name=SkySnap%20Logo%20-%20standard%20color-1.png "SkySnap Logo - standard color-1")](https://skysnap.pl) [mailto:app@skysnap.com](mailto:app@skysnap.com) Copyright © 2026, SkySnap sp. z o.o.
