(OP)
  How do you find volume increments for a cup? Can solidworks calculate these for you?

RE: volume, finding increments on cup

SW will not calculate the positions for you, but it will assist you.

If you don't want to go the manual calculation route, you can create multiple bodies which conform to the inside of the cup and use the measure tool to extract the volume. Then use the edges of the bodies to constrain the increments.
