      Had the same problem but discovered that the 'volume' option is only available on groups or comps in their unedited but selected mode. In other words, if you enter edit mode in a group or comp the volume option is unavailable even if you select everything, which I think is counter intuitive.
      I'm not sure that is what was happening with Chuck though.

        The reason is that the volume field only appears for solids and "solids" are only (otherwise) solid groups or components in SU. That's the "definition" of solids here (not definition by word but by programming).

          No, this was a definite window clipping issue.

          I could see that the window had expanded to show the volume field, but I just couldn't see the last bit of the window, no matter what I did.

          This was/is a big, for sure.

          Cheers, Chuck

            This happened to me recently, too. This fixed the problem. πŸ˜‰
