If you need to mark a specific area or a part of a drawing or plan you can hatch the specific area, you can also select specific hatch pattern to show the material applied in the area or the part of you drawing.

I am not an expert in Autocad but here's what I found online to answer this question:

 

Pick the tool, right click, choose the "object" option and select the shape whose area you wish to calculate. AutoCAD will provide you with the calculated area in the space below. Press "esc" to de-select this tool. You can even calculate a combined area of several objects together.

Depending on what's your next command or scope, I am using left click or double left click for marking (quick or full properties dialogue). For 3D, (this is my opinion),  it is better to completely isolate the object.
