Problem

For 2 complex shapes or surfaces I need to determine the volume enclosed between the 2.

Solution

1. Use the loft surface tool create a surface between the 2 surfaces of interest. Enable the keep profiles options for subsequent steps

2. Use the Stitch Surfaces Tool to create a closed volume of the 2 initial surfaces and the created surface from Step 1. 

3. Determine the Volume using either the Measure Volume tool or check the properties Dialog
