3D Editor

Measure a box Volume

Use the Editor’s Volume tool to measure a scene.

Before you start

Open a workspace scene in the 3D Editor.

Who can do this

Members with Editor access. Editing actions depend on your role and the shared view permissions.

Steps

  1. Open Measure in the Editor mode toolbar.
  2. Choose Volume from the measurement tools. If a Create fields dialog appears, complete the required fields first.
  3. Place the box in the viewport, then select it and use its handles or Inspector transform fields to fit the region.
  4. Select the new item in the Outliner to inspect or rename it. Save the scene when you want to keep the change.

What you should see

A box volume object appears and reports its volume.

If something goes wrong

  • If the tool is unavailable, check that the scene has finished loading and that your access includes editing.
  • For an inaccurate result, check the scene measurement unit and move the markers or volume handles to the intended positions.
