      The result is cuyds [or cu' if you were to change the f= value] and it's based on a 1" depth - so you can simply multiply that volume by the actual depth in inches to get the actual volume ?
      Otherwise paste the code and change the initial d=10; say if it's 10" and so on... see how the 10" version is simply 10x more volume than the 1" version etc...
      To make it have dialogs etc is much more complex than a 'one-liner' like this...

        Having slept on it you would probably want to find the volume of faces that slope too. This version does that - a fully 'vertical' face has 0x volume and a fully 'flat' face has 1x; while at 45 degrees it'll be 0.707x [1/sqrt(2)] of its flat cousin with the same surface area

        v=0;b=Geom;;BoundingBox.new;m=Sketchup.active_model;s=m.selection;s.each{|e|(b.add(e.bounds);v=v+(e.area*e.normal.z.abs))if e.class==Sketchup;;Face};if v>0;t="Faces>Volume";r=inputbox(["Depth;","Units;"],['1"'.to_l,"cuyds"],["","cuyds|cu'|cu\"|m3|cm3|mm3"],t);if r;v=v*r[0];case r[1];when "cuyds";f=0.000021433470507545;when "cu'";f=0.000578703703703704;when "m3";f=0.000016387064;when "cm3";f=16.387064;when "mm3";f=16387.064;else;f=1.0;end;v=sprintf("%.6f ",(v*f));p=b.max;m.start_operation(t);m.active_entities.add_text((v+r[1]),p,[10,10,10]);m.commit_operation;else;p 'Canceled.';UI.beep;end;else;p 'No Faces!';UI.beep;end
        

        This 'one-liner' version now asks for the depth and units, and then puts a piece of Text at the selected faces' max bounds.

        To make it into a proper tool do this...
        Make a file called 'VolumeFaces.rb' in the Plugins folder and add this code

        require 'sketchup.rb'
        module TIG
        def self.volumefaces()
        v=0;b=Geom;;BoundingBox.new;m=Sketchup.active_model;s=m.selection;s.each{|e|(b.add(e.bounds);v=v+(e.area*e.normal.z.abs))if e.class==Sketchup;;Face};if v>0;t="Faces>Volume";r=inputbox(["Depth;","Units;"],['1"'.to_l,"cuyds"],["","cuyds|cu'|cu\"|m3|cm3|mm3"],t);if r;v=v*r[0];case r[1];when "cuyds";f=0.000021433470507545;when "cu'";f=0.000578703703703704;when "m3";f=0.000016387064;when "cm3";f=16.387064;when "mm3";f=16387.064;else;f=1.0;end;v=sprintf("%.6f ",(v*f));p=b.max;m.start_operation(t);m.active_entities.add_text((v+r[1]),p,[10,10,10]);m.commit_operation;else;p 'Canceled.';UI.beep;end;else;p 'No Faces!';UI.beep;end
        end
        unless file_loaded?(File.basename(__FILE__))
          UI.menu("Plugins").add_item("Volume from Faces..."){TIG.volumefaces()}
        end#menu
        file_loaded(File.basename(__FILE__))
        end
        

        It then appears in Plugins Menu under 'Volume from Faces...', select faces and run it, set the dialog options as desired etc... πŸ€“

          Ah damned there is no right button on Mac? 😞
          But as writed in the header there is also a Menu on the top line πŸ˜„

          Because Menu volume is on contextuel menu on right clic button !

          you must have also sketchup.rb in the folders Plugins!
          Maybe it's for that you don't see that!

          works fine wtih the free one! β˜€


          %(#FF4000)[Moderator note from thomthom:
          I removed the sketchup.rb file as it not be needed to distribute this. Each SketchUp version needs a specific version, otherwise odd bugs can appear. The file should also not be in the Plugins folder. (Might have been true many many versions ago, but for the last few it should be in the Tools folder.)]

              If you go the the SCF Plugins Index page - menu linked above - and use your browser's find function [ctrl+F?] for 'volume' you'll find all of the volume tools listed in their own threads - v1.8 has its own thread... πŸ˜’
              Please learn to use the basic SCF forum and browser-page search/find tools it will be to your advantage...

                  Tig, would it be possible to make plugin that calculates volume between two terrain surfaces.
                  Say you have existing ground surface in one group and planed ground surface in other, and you want to know how much you are excavating.
                  Or maybe there already are such plugin?

                    The version 1 of the tool has a cut-and-fill example.
                    You need to do several steps...
                    You need to find whats removed AND what's added...

                    Or make the two terrains into solids by adding a 'skirt' - I think sdmitch wrote a tool to do that...
                    Then intersect the two using solid-tools and the remainder is the volume...

                            Open the RB file in a plain text editor [like Notepad++] and read the usage notes at the start...

                            ...The new 'Volume' groups are given an attribute to identify them.
                            If you select one you'll get an extra context-menu option:
                            "Volume >>> CSV", this makes a list of [active] tagged volumes...
