This is an application-based manual for the GigaMesh Software framework. It shows basic processing steps typically and also very often used within our projects. Many of the steps can be combined for more advanced tasks. Theoretical concepts can be found in the publications section. For earlier versions of the manual click here.

09. Volume

The volume of a mesh can be computed via Analyze → Compute Volume (Plane). If the plane intersects the mesh, the two values represent the volume on both sides of the plane. To get the total volume, combine these values or move the plane aside and only one value >0 remains. Computing the volume works best with watertight meshes, if the mesh has holes, the volume is estimated.
