Hello, I wasn't sure how many people would want/need area calculation, but my thought was to implement something similar to the algorithm here: https://alienryderflex.com/polygon_area/

It would be great if you added this.

Hello, is the area feature is introduced in makerjs yet? if not, can you please write a sample code that returns the area of a rectangle? (not length*width)

Thank you

@MontassarAbdelhedi it's not planned and not requested as much as other features. Please check my comment above for a cool algorithm. If your rectangle is not rotated, try makerjs.measure.modelExtents which will give rectangular outer extents.
