Question about surface area/volume measurements

[AbbasA]

Hi,

Do I need to close the 3d object to measure its surface area or volume?

Thank you,

Hi AbbasA -

You don't need to close a 3D model for area calculation, however, please note that if you close a hole on a surface your area calculation will be greater than if you left the holes in.

Volume automatically fills holes (at least the ones it's able to fill) and can take a bit of time if you have lots of holes to fill. You might want to do this manually for more control. A new unstructured mesh is created in addition to the mesh you are measuring the volume of.
