Hello,

I really wonder why I cannot measure an area in 2D in Matic. I can calculate distance and volume, but not an area. Polygon Function is only useable in 3D mode, not in 2D 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Compared to other photogrammetry software this was always a fundamental function. Is there a reason why it is missing in Matic?

Please add that soon or please reply! Thank you!
