Hi Aant, One more thing. You mentioned that the Area's iteration had the direction "in reverse". The Area has digested the geometry and simplified it so there is no guarantee that the ordering or the number of subpaths or any aspect of the original geometry iteration will be preserved in the output other than the classification of points on the plane as either "inside" or "outside". In particular, the Area object will always output geometry using the NON_ZERO winding rule regardless of the winding rule that the original geometry used and again, this is because the output is consistent with the way it manages the geometry internally to most easily perform the "Constructive Area Geometry" calculations.
