Specify closed contour

Specify a surface patch in a drawing.

It is the most convenient to specify contour in visual styles with filling.

 

To end, press Enter.

The result will be displayed in the command line. The total area, area in the projection to XY plane, area in the projection to XZ plane, area in the projection to YZ plane will be calculated. The values of areas are given in the drawing units.
