      NEW RELEASE: FredoTools::SolidVolume v1.2a - 09 Jul 15

      SolidVolume 1.2a is a minor release allowing holes for a shape to be considered as a solid. The Volume is computed as if there was no hole, but the area of faces takes the holes into account.

      See main post of this thread for more information.

        Hi Fredo

        I was so happy to find this plug in volumes, but it seems there is a problem with the volumes. i had a complex solid an found a volume that seemed very big. So i try with a small cube with an hole (20 cm for each side) and there is definitively a bug. see image

        I downloaded the latest versions of LibFredo, FredoTools (09 Jul 17) and that is the same

        anyway, thanks a lot Fredo for all your super plugins !

        have a good week !

        Alexandre

          You are right. There is definitely a bug and this is annoying.
          I fixed it, and will re-release (as soon as the certification on EWH works again).

              Just republish, now that EWH certification seems to work again.
              Please advise if this fixes your problems.

                I have not seen your post.

                Thank you Fredo.
                I downloaded all new versions of you plug in and solid volumes works now.

                  Hi Fredo6

                  It seems that the bug in solid volume is back

                    Thanks for signaling. A major bug actually.

                    Fixed in FredoTools 3.2c.

                        Hi!

                        Calculation of volume is wrong in certain cases. See attached file.

                          Got it and fixed it. Need some repackaging and will publish soon.

                          By the way, the main interest of SolidVolume is that it is supposed to work on pseudo solids too, as shown in the video.

                            NEW RELEASE: FredoTools::SolidVolume v1.5a - 13 Nov 23

                            SolidVolume 1.5a is a major release fixing issues in the calculation of volumes in some situations where the solid is scaled. It also adds the capability to compute the volumes of pseudo-solids: objects with multiple solids inside, objects with holes in faces or some mssing faces.

                            See main post of this thread for more information.

                              Thanks for your excellent tool. I use it for calculating weights of the components. Would it be possible to add there an input field for the density and then show the weight? I have not found such tool made already

                                @oheimala that sounds like a nice option for this tool. FWIW, TIG's Center of Gravity extension will calculate the weight/nass of objects based on the density you enter into the UI. And you get the CoG located, too.

                                  This sounds possible, but a little bit of work for the GUI (density field and choice of units for weight).

                                  I would do as suggested by Dave R. There are specialized plugins, who can handle much better the real caes where the density varies by object.

                                    Hi Fredo... I noticed that SolidVolume still displays volume sometimes differently than other tools:

                                      Thanks for signaling the problem. I actually forgot to update the plugin.

                                      It's now done with FredoTools v4.5c, just published.
