Hi all,
I'd like to ask for help with the following. I'm not new to Autocad, but I don't use 3D very often. I've been asked to try to calculate volume of a solid that is not as simple as it seems. I managed to draw it as 3D faces but I'm not able to create solid out of it so that I could get the volume.
Here is simplified solid description:
Bottom polygon with 5 sides in one plane. The same top polygon above but each corner with different height (z coordination).
(This is a roof layout and the top ploygon represents insulation in slope. The exercise is to calculate amount of water the roof could carry.)
I have access to 2006 & 2011
thank you for any suggestion
