In the Edit toolbox in DynaScape there is only one area calculation tool visible. However, there are three area calculation tools available. Two other area calculation tools are nested beneath the visible tool—giving you more calculating options. These tools will allow you to calculate the total area measurement within a location.
When you are using these tools, the final measurement is displayed in the CLI so you must have the CLI open (to at least three rows high) in order to view the measurement result. You can turn on and off your CLI by holding the [Shift] key and then pressing the [Tab] key.
All of these tools are also available in the hardscape and softscape labeling panels in which case they are used for material take-offs.
