Area Calculation from points

I am measuring a feature that is somewhat round but has lot of jagged edges. I want to use all of the areas to calculate the area. I am measuring this using hundreds of points. Anyone have any ideas ? I have searched for answers but can't seem to come up with any.

  • Do you have access to a good CAD system? I could do that area calculation in about 6 mouse clicks in NX. Just export as a CSV from PC-DMIS, import the CSV data into the CAD system and create surface from the point cloud (this is combined into a single function in NX), and then analyze the surface. If this is a one time thing just to get a baseline value I would be happy to do the calculation if you can send me the CSV data.
