Measure Volume
(3D only) Used to measure the volume enclosed by an element or a set of elements and to analyze mass properties. The element(s) must completely enclose a volume; if a volume is not enclosed, a message appears in the status bar. Meshes with inconsistent normals are considered invalid for volume reporting. Such meshes should be fixed using the Change Mesh Normal tool before measuring volume.

Display Center Of Mass | If on, a graphic crosshair that represents the center of mass for the measured element(s) is displayed. |
Volume Unit | Sets the units used to display the last volume
measured.
