Here's a function which should return the volume as shown in the Measure Utility.

(

fn calculateVolume obj =

(

local volume = 0.0

local objMesh = snapshotAsMesh obj

local objFaces = objMesh.numFaces

for f = 1 to objFaces do

(

v = getFace objMesh f

v1 = getVert objMesh v.x

v2 = getVert objMesh v.y

v3 = getVert objMesh v.z

volume += ((v2.y-v1.y)*(v3.z-v1.z)-(v2.z-v1.z)*(v3.y-v1.y))*(v1.x+v2.x+v3.x)

)

volume / 6.0

)

units.formatValue (calculateVolume $)

)

Cheers,
