Volume of a multipatch feature

[NeilAyres]

Is this available anywhere.
When doing things like an intersect of 2 multipatches, I would have thought that the resulting volume is important.
But I can't seem to find a way to get at it.
I looked at the calculate geometry tool on the attribute table of the multipatch, but this only offers "Area", "Perimeter", "MinZ", "MaxZ" &
the X, Y, Z centroid coordinates. In the context of a multipatch what, indeed, is "Area" anyway.

Is there a Volume property accessible via the geometry object or something.

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Neil

Hi Neil,

You can run the Add Z Information tool on the multipatch to get volume and surface area.

Best,
Eric

This seems to only calculate surface area. Volume result is 0

I knew it had to be there somewhere.
Thank you Eric.

Had a look at this tool yesterday. I see it just adds columns automatically to the feature and calculates the selected variable(s).
All well and good, but why is this not just part of the "Calculate geometry tool" on a column of the attribute table.
That way I can add columns / data of my choice.
Perhaps this should be posted into "Ideas"....
