Functionality¶

Area node is one of the analyzer type. It is used to get the area of any polygon, no matter the number of its vertices or its world position.

Inputs¶

Vertices and Polygons are needed. Both inputs need to be of the kind Vertices and Strings, respectively

Parameters¶

All parameters need to proceed from an external node.

Param	Type	Default	Description
Vertices	Vertices	None	vertices of the polygons
Polygons	Strings	None	polygons referenced to vertices
Count Faces	Boolean	True	output individual faces or the sum of all

Outputs¶

Area will be calculated only if both Vertices and Polygons inputs are linked.

In the example we have the inputs from a plane with 16 faces. You can use Area node to get the sum of all of them or the area of every face individually.
