I have managed to create a 2D drawing of an irregular shape that consists of a series of connected arcs, all of different orientation and radii. This shape is in fact the outside perimeter of a swimming pool. I created it using the dimensions and reference points from a paper copy of the pool "blueprint". It was a struggle as I was learning, but I think I have managed to get all the segments drawn and connected using the Draft workbench, and I only had to add one (1) "fudge" line to close the shape. What I would like to do now is find out the area of the shape. I did find this post:

Where someone else had a similar question and I've been attempting to replicate that solution, but I'm not having any luck. I haven't yet been able to create a 'face' inside the outline, therefore the python command referenced in that response is failing with an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'App.Document' object has no attribute 'Face'
