V5 Volumes
V5 Volumes
(OP)
I have several questions about Volumes in V5 GSD. I understand that it is a closed skin. but that's all I know.
1)What is the logic (benefit) behind using them?
2)How do Volumes compare to Solids and Surfaces?
3)Are there users designers that use Volumes regularly?

2) Volumes are a B-rep definition of a part based on the closed skin of surfaces. Solids are a CSG definition using boolean operations of primative shapes. Both offer similar capabilities, but solids are easier to create and edit (IMO).
3) I was told that Volumes were added to V5, R14 at the request of Toyota, so I guess they use them. Volumes might also be required for legacy data conversion.
