    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am trying to calculate the intersecting and non-intersecting volumes (separately) of two objects.&amp;nbsp; I have imported them from *.dxf files in both polygonal slices at regular intervals and as meshes.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="PolygonalSlices.JPG" style="width: 241px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/79807i8E7E7D6FB6F60741/image-dimensions/241x254?v=v2" width="241" height="254" role="button" title="PolygonalSlices.JPG" alt="PolygonalSlices.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="mesh.JPG" style="width: 272px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/79806iD52A3FA6D18B70B2/image-dimensions/272x220?v=v2" width="272" height="220" role="button" title="mesh.JPG" alt="mesh.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am trying to figure out the best workflow to calculate how much of the object is overlapping and how much is not.&amp;nbsp; I believe the intersect 3D tool would work with my meshes, but I cannot figure out how to convert either of these input types to a multipatch object.&amp;nbsp; I also thought that if I could use each polygonal slice and split them with the other, I could calculate the two volumes based on the spacing of each slice, but I cannot figure out how to get this to work.&amp;nbsp; I have tried using the Split Features, but it crashes ArcGIS Pro each time (or gives an error for the meshes).&amp;nbsp; I have also tried Split, but I do not get any results after it runs.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Does anyone have any experience with working with this?&amp;nbsp; Is it possible to do in ArcGIS Pro?&amp;nbsp; Is there a defined workflow for this?&amp;nbsp; I feel like this should be easy, so maybe I am overthinking the process.&amp;nbsp; Thank you!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
