Measuring Volume Enclosed by Faces
Measuring Volume Enclosed by Faces
(OP)
If I have a hollow cube modeled, is there a way to fill it in to create a solid body? Or, better yet, is there a way to select the 6 faces/surfaces and measure the volume enclosed by the cube's faces?





RE: Measuring Volume Enclosed by Faces
Another option is to extract the faces you need, create surfaces to cap them off and sew the whole thing into a solid body. Then the usual measure body command can be used.

Another question: is there a way to do a divide sheet/partition where the cut line doesn't completely divide the selected face. It's a little hard to explain, but I've attached a picture of what I'm trying to do. I thought about doing a subtract extrude but my part is a sheet, not a body, so it won't work.

The better way to measure the volume inside your cube is:
extract body to keep the original
hide the original
delete face
select the 5 faces inside the extracted body
select 'all but selected' button in 'selection' toolbar
OK
The result is the 'inside' body
then measure it

First of all, did you try my suggestion for the volume ?
Then to answer your drafting question, we need to know if you use the master model approach or is your drawing in the same part ?
