Hi,
Do you know if it's possible to extract a volume between 2 surfaces with Blue Kenue ?
Thank you in advance

Hi Marie,

As a scalar value or a mesh?

Use the calculator to compute the difference mesh between the 2 surfaces.
"Tools->Compute Volume" will give you a scalar value.

Hope this helps... Martin

Great ! Thank you Martin !

Just to be sure, it calculates the volume between my surface (a mesh, variable z) and the same "projected" surface (z = 0)

Is it possible to calculate the volume between my surfcae (15 m < z < 17 m) and let's say a surface (z = 17 m) or a surface (z = 16 m) ?

Best regards
Marie

Hi Marie,

The answer to your first question is yes.
Note: that it returns 3 volumes.
1. Total volume
2. a positive volume (everything ABOVE the z=0 plane)
3. a negative volume (everything BELOW the z=0 plane)

Qustion #2:
If you create a reference surface (where z=16 for example) use the calculator to subtract the reference from your original and compute the volume of the result.
