Want the hole area

I want the cross section hole area, not the square area without hole, how can do it? Thanks.

I want to make this.

Create one without hole and subtract it to the one with hole then you can have the hole area.

Not sure why pictures are necessary.

- if you are 2022 then associate the void's cut geometry with a y/n instance parameter

- write down the area when the parameter is ticked versus when it is not then do the math

- if you are 2021 or older then just create 2 families, one with the void and one without

OK. Let me try, Thanks.

Or do you want to show the area of the hole as an actual parameter?
