Area of entity

Not exactly new to SketchUp, I have been using it since 2008 or so, however, I am new to SU2021 Pro, the latest version I had was 2017 before upgrading. I found out that the layers are now called Tags but in the entity info "area" is missing. Is this gone or just hiding?

Make sure you are only selecting a face, if you select the face and edges it won't show.

As it has always been, area is only shown in Entity Info if you have a face or faces selected.

Please update your profile. It shows you are still using SketchUp 2013.

Profile updated and I found the area, thanks Dave, Merry Christmas!

That can be useful although you then need to either escape or undo the label if you don't want to leave it there.
