To calculate any quantity along the surface area, there should be an option which could account for elevation differences between two points. At present software take area on the basis of plan view and do not adjust the surface area when it is located on slope surface.

Problem lies in calculating surface area located on slope. Difference of levels between two points results in increase of  surface area.At present, software do not consider slope length and gives less quantity.
