Computes the surface area of supported model data objects.

Surface area can be computed for an entire model, a model element, a body, a B-Rep shape, or an indexed triangle mesh shape. Depending on object contents, the surface area may not be computable. For example, wireframe geometry and non-triangle mesh shapes do not contribute a measurable area.

Returns -1 if no measurable surface area is found.
