The invention relates to a measuring appliance (10) in which inputted or measured spatial points (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) that form a quantity of spatial points can be stored, and a horizontal projection representation or spatial representation of at least some spatial points (1, 2, 3, 4) from the quantity of spatial points can be displayed, said points being at least partially connected by lines. According to the invention, the measuring appliance (10) has a representation-changing functionality in the framework of which, according to a line selected on the user side from the lines displayed in a horizontal projection representation (A) or a spatial representation, in an automatically controlled manner by means of the evaluation and control unit: a virtual surface is defined by the selected line and a direction provided as the vertical; a subset of spatial points (1, 2, 5, 6) is selected from the quantity of spatial points, lying inside a buffer zone surrounding the virtual surface in a defined manner; and a vertical projection representation (B) of exclusively such spatial points (1, 2, 5, 6) pertaining to the subset is displayed on the display. |
