I am getting an error to calculate the volume of the square [0 0 0; 1 0 0; 1 1 0; 0 1 0], using convhulln, coming from qhullmx. Can you please help me on this? Thanks.

What cube John? It looks just like a square in the z=0 plane. So it's not even really a 3-D volume. Even if it were tilted it would not enclose a 3D volume - it would still be a planar object - so using convhulln() is not appropriate.
Anyway, the answer is trivial = the volume is zero, and the surface area is 1 if you count one planar side of the square and 2 if you count the area "on top" of the square and "on bottom" of the square separately.

oops. Not even a cube. Still asleep I guess. Yes, the enclosed volume is zero.
The issue is if the OP is looking to compute a 2-d "volume" of this object, in the plane of the square, thus the area. We don't really know what they are looking to get here.

A facet does not have a volume. It will have an area. Perhaps you mean how to get the area. Try using polyarea() though be sure to have your vertices go in a sorted order around the perimeter or else you could get a negative area. (polyarea tells you that the area of a figure eight or bowtie is zero believe it or not.)

I understand that you are getting an error with the "qhullmx" function while calling the "convhulln" function. You are defining 4 points in a 3D space as follows:
X= [0 0 0; 1 0 0; 1 1 0; 0 1 0]
However, all inputs have the 3rd dimension as 0. The z coordinate is 0. So,these become 4 points in the X-Y plane. This would represent a plane, not a 3D surface. If you put a non zero value in the in one of the 3rd dimension coordinates, the call should be error free. For example:
X= [0 0 0; 1 0 0; 1 1 0; 0 1 1]
convhulln(X)
The output should be:
2 3 1
4 2 1
3 4 1
4 3 2
