    Hello,

    I've got a prismatic part that I need to calculate the inside surface.
    I can get the entire surface area no problem.
    Any suggestions on how I can get the surface area of specific faces?

    Is there a macro out there?
    Am I missing something in SW that all ready does this?

    Cheers,

    Len

    I've used the measure command to get the area of a face and that is
    useful.

    Is is possible to get this associated with a custom property that
    updates when the model changes? Or can this measurement be put in a
    drawing and updated?

    Thanks, Blair

    Must have had a rectal cranial inversion.
    Answer is way too easy.

    Thanks,
