Classification properties for area classifications:

Slope

You can specify height and slope. Slope is used for area calculations only, not for volume or perimeter. 

Tile Count

To use the tile count feature, check the "Tile Grid" checkbox at the bottom of the menu and enter your tile sizes.

Tile quantities are calculated using an average tile formula.

Average grid area is calculated:
   Square feet = ((entry 1 + gap) x (entry 2 + gap)) / 144

Tile count is based on the average:
   round up (polygon area / avg grid area)
