Complex Profile Area Calc?

Anonymous

Is it possible to extract the area of the cross-section of a wall to which a complex profile has been attached? I'd like to do this internally to AC.

Re scheduling: there does not seem to be component with the right description. For a standard wall one can get face area, or total edge area. The concepts of "edge" and "face" do not make sense with a rounded profile anyway.

Re the profile tool: drafting fills do not return areas... besides they immediately become construction fills.

The only labor-intensive option seems to be to place the wall in plan, cut a section, then manually place a drafting fill to calculate the area of the cross-sections in question.

Appreciate the help and please let me know if I'm missing something obvious!
