Measure Volume
(3D only) Used to measure the volume
enclosed by an element or a set of elements and to analyze mass properties.
The element(s) must completely enclose a volume; if a volume is
not enclosed, a message appears in the status bar.
Meshes
with inconsistent normals are considered invalid for volume reporting. Such
meshes should be fixed using the
Change Mesh Normal
tool before measuring volume.
Setting | Description |

Display Center Of Mass | If on, a graphic crosshair that represents the center of mass for the measured element(s) is displayed. |
