Calculating Cubic Feet from Extrusion or other Tool???

[CW2020]

Hey y'all! First time posting. Could someone answer (or point me in the direction of an earlier post perhaps that answers) if there's a way to obtain the cubic footage from an extrusion? Or is there another tool that I can model a shape and identify the cubic footage?

You can use a worksheet.  Set up a database row to include extrusions.  In the database header call click the little triangle , choose function, then volume.

The Volumetric Properties tool can be useful for the odd time you need this information.

 

You have your object..

 

 

 

The figures are displayed straight away - but you can choose to place these on the drawing

 

 

This places a grouped text block - I generally remove the centre of mass info for simple drawings, but its been really useful for an on going design project where I need to know the the c of m position on concrete worktops where I have odd areas for hobs and designed-in underside void areas to reduce overall weight etc. For this, choose also to place locus at centre of mass

 

For a drawing with many objects, @michaelk's suggestion is a better route I think.This would allow you to develop the information to a more comprehensive output.
