Projected Surface in 2D [Difficult topic]

[Hans_K]

Hello Phyton colleagues ,

The difficulties I face:

When I import a part in Freecad I want to know the projected surface of the part automatically.

In the Phyton code below, I have to :
1. Select the faces Individually
2. Run the script
3. Place all the values of the calculated areas in Excel so I can make an Autosum and have the total area.

This is a lot of work if there are more then 15 faces. Can this be improved in some other way? Automatic selection and calculation?

Notice: This is my third day I work with Phyton, The script I use is from the forum because I first searched if there was a solution to this problem.
I have installed the latest version of Phyton + Freecad.

I will check for answers regularly .
Thank you in advance.


Used script:


area = 0.0
>>> for o in Gui.Selection.getSelectionEx() :
... for s in o.SubObjects:
... area = s.Area
... print area
