Total surface area for a part?

Total surface area for a part?

Total surface area for a part?

(OP)
I would like to find an easy way to know the exact surface area of a part/sheetmetal part. I've been able to use the inspect command to find the area of a single surface but then I had to manually select every surface and adding them to have the total area. Is there an easier (quicker) way to do this?

Thanks

Patrick

Wow! It was right in front of me! I missed it because at first I tried to do it from the assembly environment. It didn't even cross my mind to check in the part itself.

Thanks Kenat

RE: Total surface area for a part?

If you are in assembly and don't select a part the physical properties will be given for the whole assembly.
If you select one or more parts the physical properties will be given for just those parts.
