how to extract total area of a layer which has extrusions of polylines

I created walls for a structure by drawing a simple polylines and extruding it by the Z axis, so that i get a vertical plane. I created a number of such planes in the layer. I want to extract total area of this layer which has these polyline extrusions (planes).

I know the command of add area, but it is a tedious process and does not work for curved planes.

How do I extract the area for the entire layer in one go ?

One quick strategy, if you can do it, might be to hatch the interior areas of the polylines. You can then select the hatch and get a total area.

Whoa. Deja vu.

Please post your question once and once only. This is the third time I've seen this post in the last five minutes, and I suspect I'll see it again.

Sometimes I amaze myself (see third link).

Luke, read the rules, obey them and you'll find the people here alot more willing to look at helping you out if they can.

Apologies. I did not know it works. I thought each topic in the forum was viewed by different people. Wont happen again.

Well if you read each forum as you posted don't you think others also read in the same forums or that you are the only one that visit more than one forum?

Threads merged. Luke, please don't multiple post!

So did the OP ever get an answer? Does the hatching work or should we try something else?
