    engineers use d²π/4 as you can’t measure the radius of a pipe or a similar 3d solid object only diameter.

        Why would i calculate r? I need only the area. See? Why would I waste my time for an extra calculation.

        You just imported a point cloud, so you can’t snap to the centerline, you can only measure the diameter.
