report n tiles?

[MicahTaylor]

This might be something simple I am missing, but how can I report the number of tiles (instances of a texture jpg) on a face?

I have a picture of a solar panel that costs x dollars and I want to report("This surface will cost ", x) for each tile

.....or ......report ("This surface will cost " + (x * [number of tiles]), 1) to be able to report a cost analysis on a single selected surface.

You can use in CGA, geometry.area to get the area of the tiled face, then use the area for the calculation.
