Pilou, forget about obj :)
It's internal script mechanics. The script exports solids to an obj-file, then loads them back as polygonal model, and calculates volume.

P.S. I have great ideas about this script. ;))

Yet existing is now some speedy : just maybe the precision can be improved a little! :)

The script requires running MoI with elevated privileges to work in Windows default installs. If you can look at how you are writing the objects to avoid that would be good.

Hi BurrMan
new version of the script will use system temp dir instead of moi dir.

CVolume v.0.98

Added: User interface, densities of miscellaneous materials etc.
Changed: temporary directory

In the next version I'll add tool for a model resizing by adjusting mass or volume.

P.S. Click to "Volume" or "Mass" label to copy value to clipboard.

Excellent Max.

I don't know how far you want to take this, but if you had the option to input the cost per unit of the material, the script could display the value of the object. Great for jewelers or folks who have their design 3D printed in metal.

Or pull the material cost in from an XML file, if such a file exists in the folder. Possibilities here for the user to update their material cost XML file off the web, using a script outside MoI of course, to pull in the current price of precious metals.

Taking a step further, associate the material cost XML file with a MoI style. Assign a "silver" Style to a ring, you get the material cost if it's cast in silver (not including waste of course). Assign a "18k gold" Style to a ring, you get the material cost if it's cast in gold.

Just some far out ideas ...

Aaaaaaaaah! What a such list to translate! :)

PS I have put _cvolume 0 : that gives the good result with 2 decimal! 1688, 42 (takes just 26 seconds on my computer ;)
The other values goes very more speedy! :)
_cvolume 2 1688, 34 in 3 seconds
_cvolume 3 1688, 22 in 2 seconds
_cvolume 4 1688, 06 in 1 second
_cvolume 5 1687, 84 in 0 second

_Cvolume Alone is like _cvolume 3 : 1688, 22 in 2 seconds

Improved interface.
Added mass and volume adjustments. Great feature! I like it :)

Click to "Volume" label -> Copy volume value to clipboard
Click to "Mass" label -> Copy mass value to clipboard
Double click to "Volume/Mass Calc." label -> Restore original volume

Hi Max,
I really love what you've done to the volume script :-)

Just one request:
in my original version i was converting cubic mm to cubic cm as this is a lot more meaningful, especially when dealing with 3D printing.
Can you add that feature back? As far as i know no one deals with cubic mm..

Other than that, excellent work :-)

Hi Max and Dinos,

I would like to thank you too for excellent feature.

Regarding units... Is it possible to add "unit conversion" when I click on unit label in same way as in MoI stanadard UI? Please see screenshot what I mean.





IMHO it would be quite handy to have system units as a default and click to conversion into cm3 for printing or dm3 for volume in litres or into m3 for instance, because typically wood material is offer in m3.
