Volume between surfaces/meshes

[stu92]

Hello,

I am trying to calculate the volume between these two surfaces, preferably through creating a solid that I can then use for subtracting and calculating the difference in volumes.

Ideally I wouldn’t have to convert the topography mesh to a polysurface, but I’ve just not been able to have any joy using meshes and polysurfaces together.

I have tried extruding the outline of the base surface and using the projected outline to trim this surface, then allowing me join all surfaces together into what I would assume would be a closed brep/mesh, but again haven’t been able to crack this.

Any ideas? This has been puzzling me for a few days now.

Thank you @HS_Kim!

Is there an alternative solution that does not use grasshopper plug-ins?

This one is slightly better.

Can you post a screenshot of your last two files please? I’m getting errors for missing extensions when I open the file and am not sure what I’m missing, in your original screenshot it looked like you had an evaluate surface in the gap on the left that was a little different to the standard one I have?

Ahhh got it! I just dropped the evaluate surface component in and dragged the topo up to the Mesh Difference component and there you go! Thanks a lot!

Hello there, I got used to this combination.
