This command reports the surface area from a cross section surface. Either the horizontal or slope area is reported. There are also prompts to limit the area report to a station range or offset range. The program prompts for the section file to process. There is an option to use a second section file for a cut/fill reference. When this reference section file is used, the program reports the area broken out by cut and fill areas.
