  Hi,

  there is no built-in function to get the min area, but you can script it:

  report("discussion_1278")
  
  layer = input(43, 0)
  
  # compute min area
  min_area = nil
  layer.data.each_merged do |poly|
    area_in_dbu = poly.area * dbu * dbu
    if min_area
      min_area = [ min_area, area_in_dbu ].min
    else
      min_area = area_in_dbu
    end
  end
  
  if min_area
    layer.with_area(min_area * 3, nil).output("Everything with more than 3x the min area")
  end
  

  However, this will be fairly slow.
