    This still makes no sense (to me, anyway). I don't see how you can have anything other than 1 "metals 2 layers" (or maybe 0 if there is no metal 2)? 

    Perhaps you really want to know how many shapes there are on metal 2? I can't see how that would be terribly useful, because you could get lots if it happened to be drawn as a bunch of individual rectangles, or  few if they happened to have been merged into polygons. I can see that the area of metal 2 might be useful.

    So as you can see, I'm still none the wiser as to what you really want.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
