MEASURE SURFACE AREA OF A POLYFACE MESH

Anonymous — Sun, 15 Jan 2017 10:51:19 GMT

I HAVE A DRAWING CONVERTED FROM REVIT, WIH POLYFACE SURFACE, I WANT TO HAVE THE SURFACE AREA OF THE SAME, ANYBODY CAN HELP.

> I HAVE DONE: OPTION -1

MESHSMOOTH > EXPLODE > lisp "FA23DPL" > lisp "POLYAREA" = NOT SUCCESFUL COZ DIFFERENT Z COORDINATES.

> I HAVE DONE OPTION -2:

MESHSMOOTH > AREA (OBJECT) = IT IS SUCCESFUL BUT WE CAN USE ONLY FOR ONE OBJECT / PANEL.

FOR MUTIPLE OBJECT / PANEL

MESHSMOOTH > all objects / panels manually joined and used command " UNION" > AREA (OBEJECT) = IT IS SUCCESFUL BUT VALUE IS NOT SURE?

Hi,

I suggest to use MEASUREGEOM command line.

When you start MEASUREGEOM choose ARea, then Object (watch command line). Choose the mesh. If it is more than one mesh you will need to do each one separately.

Hi,

Thank you for your response. This will work for each mesh separately; I have checked.

Any solution for more meshes to get total area?

You can automatically calculate the surface area of multiple meshes using this lisp.
