How to calculate volume of an individual feature

How to calculate volume of an individual feature

(OP)
Hi,
I would like to like to calculate the volume occupied by an individual feature in Pro-E. For eg: I create a block and then subtract a hole from the block. In this case I can get the volume, surface area of the entire resultant solid. Is there anyway I can enlist the the volume of individual features. In my example case the say the volume of the block and the hole as separate values.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
dabsm

P.S. I am using Pro-E Wildfire on Windows if that makes any difference to the answer.

dabsm,

Use the analysis feature twice: once for the volume of the cube and then again for the the volume of the resultant solid. You can get the volume of the hole only by subtracting the cube volume from the total with a relation analysis feature. Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Matthew Ian Loew
