Hi @18154093 

You will need to construct the string  containing the area value and unit string.

Dim C as Double
C = iProperties.Area
iProperties.Value("Custom", "AREA") = Round(C, 2) &" SF"

 Just in case your using sheet metal parts and you need to get the area of flat pattern here is the link.

Can you show the parts list before using the group method? I am not getting the roll up error here.

I use string "SF", because i don't know how to get unit of area in ilogic

Something's wrong ?

ft^2 would be the unit string for sq feet. I am not sure if custom units are accepted in the parts list tools. The units are not existing as standard. Maybe some more forum searching will yield a result for you.

Judging by search by "Area" within UnitsTypeEnum help-page you can get Area in Acres and CircularMils only (which is pretty strange).

this is not acceptable, because in the type board does not have unit of area

How about changing the unit of measurement in the document of the part to Area instead of qty. This is commonly done for sheet material. This way the qty will be added up. 2 ft^2 instead of qty 2 @1 ft^2. See tutorial on this method here.
