Summary

The CP_IslandArea command in CADPower for BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander calculates the areas of islands within hatch objects. This tool is particularly useful in architectural, civil, and GIS applications where internal voids or enclosed regions need to be measured and documented.

CADPower -> Inquiry Tools -> Inquiry Tools -> Compute Island Areas

Key features include:

• Calculate Island Areas – Computes and displays the area of hatch islands (enclosed regions within a hatch pattern).
• Works with Complex Hatch Patterns – Supports islands within nested hatch objects, regardless of shape complexity.
• Automatic Area Reporting – Displays individual island areas and total island area in the command line.
• Supports Material Quantity Estimation – Useful in flooring, landscaping, and excavation projects where net material requirements must exclude internal voids.
• Improves Drawing Analysis – Helps identify unused or void spaces within hatch patterns.
• Compatible with Leading CAD Platforms – Works seamlessly in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD, and ARES Commander.

Benefits:

With CP_IslandArea, users can accurately measure internal hatch areas, helping to improve material estimation, design validation, and drawing accuracy.
