Volume and cubature

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. Labels 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.

• Exercise: Compute cubature between two open meshes

• Exercise: Measure cubature with a level of water

• Exercise: Measure the volume of a closed mesh

• Exercise: Create a stockpile project
