Area of shapefile or multiple shapefiles

[sam.stibbs]

How do I calculate the area of a shapefile or multiple elements within a shapefile within Map 3D?

[parkr4st · Accepted solution]

open the data table and create a calculation    (Options drop down at bottom of table window)

Geometry can be multiplied, divided, etc to give the units needed.  Geometry in sq ft    Geometry/34560 will yield acres for example

Ooops!  Acres is Geometry/43560    not  34560

The other path to travel involves mapimport with data and mapexport with attributes including AREA in the PROPERTIES check-off list to a new .shp  .  This will place the area in the new data table.
