Hello All,

I found difficulty in measuring total surface area of modeling part. I just able to measure a single selected surface but can't for totally one. See this following picture for detail?

Does anyone able to solve this case?

Alternatively, you could create a copy of the surfaces you want included in the area calculation and then select the quilt.

Sandy,

when you select object to measure, place cursor on your model, click right mouse button and use Pick From List command. In Pick From List window select name of you part and click OK.

Thanks Martin,

I've tried but it not works. In pick of list menu, I can't select more than one surface that I've to measured. I don't know, might be what I've done is not like your suggest.

Btw.. thanks Martin

Sandy,

just to explain... I apologize, my suggestion was wrong, because I did not read your question carefully. I thought that you want to measure the surface of whole part.
