Polygon Area

User can define a polygon by points in a plane of the model and get the area value in a label. This helps user to compute the concentration of results in a particular zone.

Note

This function works well only for polygon defined in a plane.

Steps to measure a polygon area

  • Go to Tools | Measurements module

  • It expands with a submenu

    Polygon_Area_Menu

  • Go to the viewer and click on the model to select points.

  • Select at least 3 points to define a polygon.

  • Right click or click on empty area to generate polygon area label.
