Getting the area of part of an object

I'm trying to figure this one out and not having much luck:

I'm trying to figure out how to get the finished surface area of an object. If it's a cube, I only want the area of one specific face.

I have not found any way to do this through the Interactive Scheduler.... aside from trying to code it into the object, any other ideas?

There are definitely no GDL Globals or REQUEST functions to achieve this.
You will probably have to code and calculate it in your script, in my opinion.

I agree with Laszlo. The simplest thing probably is to calculate it and put it into a user parameter for scheduling. I've done similar things for one of my clients.
