Hello together,

i had to calculate the 3D area of some roofs and dormers, all are Polygon ZM. I already tried to create a TIN out of the polygons and than use the "Add Surface Information" tool, but that didn't worked that well.

Is there a better option to calculate this value?

This is how the buildings look like

Thanks for help

What do you mean by it didn't work too well? It is there.

The polygon class only offers 3D length

I got it now. I simply divided the two-dimensional surface of the roof-polygons by the cos of the corresponding angle... Thanks for your reponse.
