    change the area of a surface opening enter values for Area, Height, or Width of the opening.
    Note: For a 3D freeform space opening, you cannot edit the height or width on this worksheet. You can change the width and height of a 3D freeform surface opening using grips.

    For openings in 3D freeform spaces, the reported area is displayed alongside the overall area. The reported area can differ from the overall area in cases where an opening is only partly on the surface, and the rest is either on a different surface or outside the space. In this case, the reported area displays the part of the opening that is on the surface. The value for reported area is read-only.

  6. To remove an opening from a surface, select the opening, right-click, and click Remove Opening.
  7. Click OK.
