Notes on areavol.p 29 Nov 96 areavol.p is a LightWave Modeler plug-in that calculates the surface area and volume of the selected polygons in the foreground layer. The calculated volume is valid if the polygons are single-sided and form a polyhedron. Both the area and volume calculations assume the polygons are planar. The plug-in uses the entire contents of the foreground if nothing has been explicitly selected. To install the plug-in, copy it to your Modeler plug-ins directory and select Add Plugin from the Custom list on the Modeler Objects panel. Based on Ronald N. Goldman, "Area of Planar Polygons and Volume of Polyhedra," in Graphics Gems II, James Arvo ed., Academic Press, 1991 (ISBN 0-12-064480-0).
