Calculating Intersecting and Non-Intersecting Volumes from Complex Geometry

Hello,

I am trying to calculate the intersecting and non-intersecting volumes (separately) of two objects.  I have imported them from *.dxf files in both polygonal slices at regular intervals and as meshes.

I am trying to figure out the best workflow to calculate how much of the object is overlapping and how much is not.  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.  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.  I have tried using the Split Features, but it crashes ArcGIS Pro each time (or gives an error for the meshes).  I have also tried Split, but I do not get any results after it runs.  

Does anyone have any experience with working with this?  Is it possible to do in ArcGIS Pro?  Is there a defined workflow for this?  I feel like this should be easy, so maybe I am overthinking the process.  Thank you!
