Containment Volumes

Hello,

 

I am tasked with calculating a volume of an area to calculate how many gallons it will hold.

 

I then need to compare this tin surface at a specific elevation

 

so basically i have a bowl and need to put a lid on it to see how much volume there is at the containment fail elevation.

 

was looking for other ideas as to how to do this

 

right now i'm making a plane at the set elevation and then making on additional plane to move up and down till I get the containment I need

 

 

Thanks

Id be tempted to throw a trapezoid at it (V=LH(A + B)/2) and do a rough calculation... but thats why im not making the real money haha. If nothing else it can give you an idea where to start looking to put your lid.

Make a new surface larger than your bowl with say 5 points but each point has the same elevation then just use the ciV3d volume calc compare two surfaces.

I just had to do this by hand in my Hydrology and Drainage course...Wasn't too bad. Having CAD sure helped a lot
