      Hi folks,

      in a component I want to use the attribute "FACEAREA" for using in a report. But for a face with the dimension e.g. 1x1m instead of yielding the expected result 1m² it produces a result off by factor 1.550003. Is this a bug? Please see image attached to see my problem. (I know I could amend that through deviding the result by 1.550003, but I would like to now why this happens). Thank you!

      Cheers
      Mikar

        facearea returns inches, therefore you need to convert it, 2.542.54 gives sq inches to sq cm then sq cm to sq m then /10000
