Mesh Volume
A mesh volume is calculated either above or below a reference place based upon the center of a
rectangle defined by the Sampling Step Intervals. The lines created in the Cyclone volume
calculation represent the “stems” of each rectangular volume. The resulting volume of the
rectangular box is calculated.
A mesh volume can be calculated based on Basic, Complex and TIN meshes.
