How to calculate quickly areas in elevation

Just a question to see how this is done in Revit:

Have a shower that is being renovated and need to calculate quickly the areas of the rear and side walls of the new shower from floor to the ceiling and also the area of the floor of the new shower.   I have the 3D model of the shower area, with the elevations, but these do not have the tiles drawn yet, but the existing ceiling and the existing floor is seen in the section of the bathroom.

In an AutoCAD situation like this, we just draw a PL and then get quickly the area of the PL and we have the area immediately.

Question:  How the areas of these three walls and floor of the shower are quickly calculated in Revit?  (When looking at the Revit drawing of the elevation, the "Area Boundary" button of the "Room & Area" panel is grayed, so it is telling me that it cannot be used.  Is that correct?).

Thanks in advance.

You could use schedules or draw a region in the elevation to see the area directly in the view (you can set it to no patterns/no masking/invisible lines or control visibility with filters ie.).

Depends little bit on your needs. I would have a thin (tile) wall and floor in my template. And just draw those walls and floor. In your template you also could have a schedule ready giving you the results you are after.

If I would need to repeat this for many areas in the building I might consider creating a loadable family. MOre  or less a cube with instance parameters which I could fit in the shower area and than have some formulas to calculate areas. Adding parameters depending on the the flexibility needed.

First option is the most BIM like one.
