in a 2D drawing or in a plane a circle is drawn with radius (57,61/2)[mm] resulting in a surface of 0.002602m²
when extruding this plane or drawing a cilinder with the same radius the surface changes in 0.002585m².
What is the reason of this change?
2D diameter is then 57,5584mm
3D diameter is then 57,3701mm
why are they both differing with 57,61mm initial diameter?
