surface of the part - measurement

Hi, we paint parts in the paint booth at work. For purchase and price I would need to measure the surface of the part in prusaslicer. Of course I can measure it in another program, but this feature would speed up our work a lot. Does anyone know if it is possible to measure the surface in Prusa Slicer? At the same time, I would appreciate it if you could measure just one side of the part we are going to paint.

No prusa slicer doesn't currently do that.  The measure tools can measure distance and angles but not surface area.

Also to accomplish what you want it sounds like it would need the ability to select multiple faces and then work out the area of just those selected faces.

You could request a feature update on the prusa slicer github.  It might fit into the current dev plan or it might take years or never.
