Thanks for the response, I should have been more clear; what I would
ideally like to do is
have a Ruby script perform the (area - shaded area) calculation over a
set of rectangles.
If anyone can give me some pointers on how to write that script I'd
appreciate it.

Hello-
As was recently pointed out to me, area can be found for any face or
collection of faces by clicking on the entity info button. It will
display the square measurement area of whatever units you are working
in. I should think you could draw a temporary line on the plane in
question, delineating the shadow area, and do a simple subtraction.
Just my .02 cents.

Does anyone have any pointers on how to measure area and area covered
by a shadow?
