Find area of face in mm?
Find area of face in mm?
(OP)
I am trying to work out the area of all the faces on a model.
I see you can do this by measure inertia and measure item.
The answer always appears in m^2 and rounds it off to 3 decimal points, is there a way to give the exact answer in mm^2 or give the exact answer in m^2?

in the UNITS tab; scroll down to AREA and choose whatever units you want to use. Lower down in the same panel, you can set the DECIMAL PLACES FORE READ/WRITE NUMBERS if you want something other than 3

I'm not sure what the problem is here, but I don't think that the measure tool is calculating the correct area for me. It says 1200mm2 for both faces but 1 face is clearly larger than the other.
"Face" contains the correct area of 1200mm2
I have included a screen shot
