Choose the next action from the volume state
| State | Meaning | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Available supported volume | This method supplied an enclosed-volume value under its screens | Confirm unit and intended solid scope |
| Unavailable | A validity or scope condition prevented a supported value | Diagnose the volume finding; do not substitute zero |
| Processing error or missing report | No completed measurement from this attempt | Resolve the stated input or processing issue |
| Available volume plus density | Optional solid-mass arithmetic | Use complete sliced consumption for material planning |
The current server method requires valid geometry, one connected component, no open or over-shared edges and consistent winding. An available magnitude does not determine the intended cavity or establish a Boolean union of overlapping surfaces. Screens can miss intersections.
Interpret a known control under its unit
The closed 20-coordinate cube has 12 triangles and analytical volume 8,000 mm³ = 8 cm³ under a millimetre assumption. With the same bytes interpreted as inches, its span becomes 508 mm and volume increases by 25.4³. The result's unit selector changes interpretation; it does not re-export a resized model.
A 40 × 30 × 10 block with an 8 mm square passage can have zero exposed edges and analytical material volume 11,360 mm³. A missing-face cube instead leaves an unfinished boundary. The 27 October 2026 local processor record reports approximately 8,000 and 11,360 mm³ for the closed controls and unavailable volume for the open cube. It is the processor code path run locally, not a deployed endpoint test. Downloading an example never submits a server job; choose the file above and press Calculate volume deliberately.
Use sliced consumption for production planning
Density multiplied by available volume gives solid mass. A percentage adjustment does not include the slicer's separate walls, top/bottom layers, supports, purge or arrangement. Use the final job's complete material estimate in the production cost calculator. Missing volume supplies no mass estimate.
For interior design use the cavity workflow; for result interpretation use units and solid-validity diagnosis. Opening locally and submitting to this server calculator are separate actions.
