3d ore body modeling

3d ore body modeling

3d ore body modeling

(OP)
I have mapped a pipe shaped ore zone on the 300 foot level, 400 foot level, and 500 foot level of a mine.  I have the ore for each level as a separate layer.  Can anyone tell me how to connect the elliptical shapes at each level into a 3d model, preferrably with properties I can use to calculate tonnages and volumes of ore at various sections of the pipe shaped body.  ??  I am using acad 2007.  I have been trying loft, extrude, 3d mesh, and spent hours trying to do this with out the result I want.  Even a mesh would be great.  The body plunges at different angles from level to level, from about -60 degrees to about -50 degrees.  But it is roughly elliptical at each level.  Thanks
