(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.
You can access this tool from the following:

Description
Mass Properties
If on, the
Mass Properties window displays the
mass property analysis for the measured volume.
Display Center Of Mass
If on, a graphic crosshair that represents the
center of mass for the measured element(s) is displayed.
Use reference scale
Allows users to measure in true model units while
in a Sheet model that contains a scaled reference file. This checkbox is off by
default.
Note: This setting
is only applicable in the Sheet models.
Volume Unit
Sets the units used to display the last volume
measured.

Volume
Displays the result of the last volume measured.
The
