Three kinds of volume can be measured:
-
Volumes of a closed object,
-
Volumes over and under a certain level of liquid,
-
Volumes of embankment and excavation between two meshes.
Different configurations can be used:
-
If you select one closed mesh before launching the command Volume, you will be able to compute either the volume of the object, or the volumes over and under a water level.
-
If you select several closed meshes, a window appears showing the volume of each mesh. Measures are also created.
-
If you select an open mesh, you will not be able to compute its volume, but only the volumes over and under a water level.
-
If you select two open meshes, you will be able to compute the volumes of embankment and excavation between them.
