Is there a way to get the weith of a volume?

Hi there! I use BricsCAD in my work and I need to calculate the volume from the point cloud rised before. Is there a way to do it in this software? Thanks!

    I don't think there is any option to calculate it directly from the Point Cloud.
    Which is - just a dumb Cloud of - Points ...
    If the geometry isn't too complex, you may need to manually draw in some
    Solids, which will give you the Volume.

    Much improved detection of planes, solids even, is trailed for v22, so this shd be poss, if not already?

    Plane detection and those things will already help to create Solids.

    But if not too complex, just snapping and using Direct Modeling
    maybe even faster (?)

    You can use POINTCLOUDFITPLANAR to fit planar surfaces (or even solids, in case of room-like structures) on your pointcloud. This way you might be able to convert your pointcloud to geometric entities and then get the volume.
