Suddenly having this issue in some files I am working in where the Area command cannot calculate the area of closed, planar curves, and can only find the area if I make a surface from the curves (Which I do not want to have to do)
All my curves are planar, closed, non-self intersecting
-Even if I re-draw the curves manually, it still cannot find the area
My units are feet, precision is set to 0.0001 for everything.
The objects I am trying to find the area for are not very small, not extremely big, all about 1800-2000sf.
I’ve tried projecting to C Plane, that does nothing. I’ve tried copying to a new file, tried changing units, tried everything I can think of. Again, it works if I make a surface from the curves. Also not complicated curves - all rectilinear shapes.
I don’t believe curves have area. If you want to measure the area of something it needs to have area - like a plane or surface. You are right to make a surface from the enclosing curve.
