    how do i find the surface area of a dome?
    i've tried list, area and massprop commands but yielded no result.

    What kind of dome? Solid model? Surface? Wireframe? ??

    There exist exactly math formulas for spheres.
    Try them
    Good luck

    thanks for your reply. forgot to mention about the dome profile which is
    irregular (series of arcs).
    first i made a region and revolved it and came up with a solid dome. how do
    i find the surface area without using mathematical formulas?
