https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Area-of-Horizontal-Projection-of-Mesh/m-p/68369#M6474 I have tried that parameter before but I get zero for area when the mesh surface is not level?!

Trying to avoid having extra elements on top of each other so when Mesh is edited do not have to deal with a fill also or easer time with selecting what I want. <BR /> Thanks, <BR /> joseph Fri, 08 Jun 2007 19:02:10 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Area-of-Horizontal-Projection-of-Mesh/m-p/68366#M6471 Anonymous 2007-06-08T19:02:10Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Area-of-Horizontal-Projection-of-Mesh/m-p/68367#M6472 It looks to me you can with the "Area" parameter.

The bottom 2 meshes of my example were flat, and listed just fine (as you can see).
