Weird area calculation
-
Hi all,
Look at these 2 circles: one made of 16 segments and the other made of 50 segments, both have a radius of 50cm.
Faces within these circles have the same circumference, but not the same area.
None of these areas are exact, and even a circle made of 10000 segments will not output the exact area.
PI * R * R gives 0.7853981633974483 m²
The less the number of segments, the greater the error…
Same goes for any face that have curve(s) in its outer loop, and this is a great issue when we need accurate areas calculations.
Disapointed…
When will SketchUp have a good integral calculator ?
