Export layer area to a file

[enggraph]

Hello,

it is possible to export the calculated layer area into a text file?
I need a file with all the layers (1 row / 1layer)

Thank You
Levi

Yes, you can do that easy via Scripting and add the data you want to the text file you want: https://github.com/sn4k3/UVtools/tree/master/UVtools.ScriptSample
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.file.createtext?view=net-5.0

The property on UVtools to get that area in mm is: layer.BoundingRectangleMillimeters.Area()
So you just need to loop all layers and export the area per line

Best script sample to start with for what you want: https://github.com/sn4k3/UVtools/blob/master/UVtools.ScriptSample/ScriptChangeLayerPropertiesSample.cs

Hello Sn4k3,

I have been trying to create the script, but i have a problem with the layer.BoundingRectangleMillimeters.Area property.

I used another properties like layer.NonZeroPixelCount, and its works but with the area i have some problems.
Can you help me?

Yes, .Area is a function not a property... use .Area() instead

Also that .Area is part of an extension, you need to declare a using on top near the others: using UVtools.Core.Extensions;

As bonus, change your line by my improved line:

sw.WriteLine($@"{layerIndex}\{layer.NonZeroPixelCount}\{layer.BoundingRectangleMillimeters.Area()}");

After you write the script i can review it and optimize it for you

Thank You !!!!
Now it work's

[sn4k3]

How does it feels when we accomplish stuff by ourselves ;)
