Calculating Cubic Square Feet

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Attached is a "Dome" type object (It's been shelled out).  I'm curious how I would calculate the Cubic Square Feet within this object.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hmmm... Locks up on me when I select my object... Then after I hit escape, it asks me if I want to "write data to a file".

I am using  a Mac.. Not sure if that means anything (no command line or ribbons)

What is "Cubic Square Feet"?

If I fill the cavity volume with "water" and measure that I get -

Another way is to get its "Volume" VLA property.  Paste into the Command: line:

(vl-load-com); [if the following line alone results in an unknown-function error message]

(vla-get-Volume (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "\nSelect Solid for its volume: "))))

That reports in cubic drawing units, so if those are inches, you'll have to divide the result by 12-cubed [the number of cubic inches in a cubic foot].

I am sure there is a command line in Mac version. I saw it on my friend's Mac.

Try typing COMMANDLINE on your keyboard ans see what happens.

I don't know where you live at but over here in the USA we only have square feet or cubic feet
