What do I put in the surface? I have an original surface, and then I have a new surface that we had flown, and I want to create a volume of a stockpile that was in the new surface. So I can create a volume surface with those two but it gives me the volume of the whole surface not just one stockpile in that surface.

here is a video of what I did, and I am not sure why it didn't work. I followed the tutorial in the autodesk help on this and it didn't work. I must be missing something??

It's not obvious in your video where your volume surface extents are and what kind of object that white thing is. Make sure your volume surface actually exists in that area and make sure that thing is a CLOSED polyline.
Ok the way I did it DID work, I am just an idiot and didn't expand that volume surface in the dashboard. So I had incidentaly create like 10 of them because I thought it wasnt working. But I got what I needed and thanks for all the help!
