# Volume from Elevation

![CmdMesureVolumeFromElevation.svg](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/CmdMesureVolumeFromElevation.svg)

This command allows to compute the volumes of a mesh at different levels.

> [!TIP]
> Select one mesh and launch the command

> [!NOTE]
> The selected mesh can be opened, but depending on the size of the holes, the result can be less or more accurate.

1. **Direction**: select the direction in which volumes are calculated.
2. **Range**: choose where the volumes are calculated:

- **Regular:** with a regular step between two elevations.
  - **All over:** all over the mesh. Check **Pass Through** to force the section to pass through a given point.
  - **From To**: on a certain part between two values or two picked points
- **List of values**: pick points or enter values to choose where to calculate volumes.

1. **Volume unit**: select the unit of computed volumes.
2. You can choose to create measures and/or level planes in the scene. If you choose to create level planes, they are added to geometric group.

> [!WARNING]
> When computing volumes all over a mesh at different elevations, the results are not given slice by slice, they are cumulated.
