1.234e+9 means 1.234×10⁹, it's not natural logarithm

To elaborate, the 'e' stands for 'exponent', not the constant.

Your areas are simply very big when measured in square millimeters. Very large and very small numbers are displayed using scientific notation in Grasshopper. If you do not want this, you can use custom formatting to display the values.

For this, use a Format component with a pattern like "{0:0} mm²" and you should get your values rounded to the nearest square millimeter.

Thank you David.

the areas are indeed very big! i think that i should convert to m² though the custom formatting worked out :)

To convert to square meters, you can use formatting like this:

Format("{0:0.00} m²", A / 1000²)
