In the Analyze functional area, you can use the Projected Area tool to visualize the projected area for parts and assemblies and compute their surface area.

Proceed as follows to calculate the projected area of a selection:

▪Generate a selection.

▪In the tool area, specify the projection axis relative to the current coordinate system (see chapter Generate Coordinate System).

▪Click the Compute button.

▪The projected area is now highlighted in orange.

▪The surface area is displayed in the Tool area under the Surface section.
