Maybe somebody knows, are there any compounds for finding area or volume of the object?

The volume of a polygon mesh can be found by querying the ICEAttribute "Volume" of said object.
It returns the "volume of polygon meshes in cubic Softimage units".

Likewise: the ICEAttribute "Area" returns the "Area of a polygon mesh object in Softimage units squared."
Stay safe, sane & healthy!

It's an object attribute. Not having SI in front of me, I assume you can apply an Attribute Display property to your object (Get->Property->Display Attribute) and pick the attribute to visualize it.

Volume might also be part of the object info (Shift+Enter).

Or use it in an ICE tree with Get Data "self.volume"
