Thank you TIG!

It was my maths that was failing me. I failed to square. Though, I don't see why if Sketchup can give areas in the drawing set units (metric) in text and in entity info, it can't do it with facearea...?

Thanks again.

Hi,
I am new to using dynamic components, so there may be something obvious I am doing wrong,...?

I am trying to produce a schedule of areas using dynamic components with a custom attribute area =FACEAREA("materialname")/2. However the results for the areas seem incorrect ( way out!). I am checking against the entity info results and with manual dimensions on the simpler rectangular areas.

Does anybody have any ideas what I may be doing wrong? My drawing is set with millimetres as the units. Could it be a unit conversion issue? Although I have tried multiplying by 25.4 and that isn't giving me a correct answer either.

Any ideas for things to check would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
