Hey guys,
I have a somewhat unusual question. Let's suppose I create a Vector shape using the Free Lasso- it is composed of line segments, so it forms a polygon. What I would like to know is, what is the *Area* of this shape? In theory, it would be easy to convert the vector shape to triangles, measure the area of each triangle using Heron's formula, and add it up.
The purpose of this is (approximately) measure the square meters of a floor plan someone sent me.

Re: Calculate Area of a Vector Curve
The Measurement Tool does that. It's at the same location as the Magnifier and the Moving Hand.

Re: Calculate Area of a Vector Curve
Thanks Martin, I see that tool now.
How do I apply it to a pre-existing vector shape?

Re: Calculate Area of a Vector Curve
Sorry Martin, one more question. How do I press "Calculate Area"? Where is that button?

Re: Calculate Area of a Vector Curve
You can find it in the Tool Setting of the measure tool:
