Searching for plugin " surface area of selected components"

[mics_54]

I was wondering if there was a plugin to help calculate total surface areas of all selected entities or components.

unless file_loaded?((__FILE__))
	UI.add_context_menu_handler do |menu|
		sel = Sketchup.active_model.selection
		unless sel.empty?
			menu.add_separator
			menu.add_item('Surface Area') {
				sa = 0.0
				sel.each{|e|
				 if e.is_a?(Sketchup;;Face)
					sa += e.area
				 elsif e.is_a?(Sketchup;;Group)
					if e.manifold?
					 e.entities.grep(Sketchup;;Face){|f|
						sa += f.area
					 }
					end
				 elsif e.is_a?(Sketchup;;ComponentInstance)
					if e.manifold?
					 e.definition.entities.grep(Sketchup;;Face){|f|
						sa += f.area
					 }
					end
				 end
				}
				UI.messagebox "Total Surface Area = " + Sketchup.format_area(sa)
			}
		end
	end
	file_loaded((__FILE__))
end
