How do we find the area of an irregular planar area? Say the area of a fenced closed perimeter.

I have a model that I would like to make on my DaVinci. Is there a post-processor out there that can take the .skp file into a G-code for me?

I have two solids that will not become a single solid. Not having SU Pro, I have to use outer shell. Outer shell works well with two solid geometries, but I suspect my two are so complex that sticking them together causes some kind of problem. I bought SUSolid and used Solid Solver which show a myriad number of little problems. Will the Pro version union make them a single solid? Would anyone with Pro like to unionize my two solids into one for a little money? I really up against a deadline and could use any help.

I finally was able to, with the erudite forum members' help, make my surface into a solid.
NEW PROBLEM: I am trying to "attach" one face of one solid to a face on the other. Will the whole thing become a solid if I take both of the latter groups and make them a single group?

I have downloaded SU Tools. I believe this to be true because I have the different colored cubes on the toolbar. I am trying, and have been for a month, to download FredoScale. After doing what the tutorial shows, and using SU2014, nothing happens. The program works, but FredoScale does not come up. Could it be that I need to sign up for a paid subscription? Pretty much I am holding on my design until I can somehow get FredoScale. I am willing to pay for any help.

I wanted the "cup"-shape of a quarter of an egg. I made the egg by first making a sphere with follow me, then I deformed it using FredoScale. Next I used planes to "cut" the egg such that I erased all I did not want. But on one edge, there are these triangles; though small, they kinda ruin the smooth edge. It appears that a few, non-connected, points are not connected; so I drew a line between them hoping that the surface would then be complete and smooth: it did not. In fact, within this small triangular area, I surface does not exist. Is there a fix for this? I could try another method, but since this happens a lot, my guess is that I have missed something.

When I changed from SU8 to the 2014 version, I had LibFredo and Curviloft downloaded; so it was easy to load them. But I did not have Fredoscale. When I use the extension warehouse, and hit INSTALL, the thingy just spins.
I would really like to be able to have Fredoscale, but am lost. What can I do?

I have a 3D shape similar to a spoon's ovate shape; it has a mild but extant variable thickness. I made my shape by using curviloft's profiles.
Now here is the problem: how would I modify this 3D shape? Do I have to go back and modify the profiles thus taking a lot of time or is there an easier way?

I have finished my model by using splines and curviloft. Now I want to customize my model(s) to existing features. I am asking on the best way to do this:

1. should I use the scale tool?
2. should I go back to the splines and modify them then use curviloft again?
3. fredoscale seems like a good fit as it allow twisting and bending of the existing model; I have used it successfully; but the advice of the more experienced in the forum would be beneficial vis a vis their general experience
   I am modeling spoons, or in surgical terms, a curette, made for specific intraoperative bone work.
   Your adice in the past has made the use of SU fun and productive.

Just because you are paranoid does not mean that they are not after you.

Is there an FEA plugin that I can use for both static and dynamic loads on my SU models?
