Volumes report

[Compugraph]

When trying to get volume results using the subsites options I got some cells with values totally out of range (in zillions). Most of the cells do are fine and the values are fine, but some others are totally out of range.
All other methos (grid, composite and section) worked fine.
Any suggestion?
(The total number of subsites is 252 and the number of bad cells is about 35)
thanks.

This is a known problem, please refer to my post on 4/27/00 as follows:

This is a known problem with S8, here is a workaround:

1. Generate a grid surface from the 2 surfaces.
2. Set the grid surface current
3. Create a polyline representing the sub-site area.
4. Use that polyline as a surface boundary for the grid surface.
Respond 'Yes' to Remove all existing boundaries.
Respond 'Yes' to Make breaklines along edges.
5. Calculate the surface volume using the grid method. Volume calculations
will be limited to the area constrained by the surface boundaries.
6. Repeat steps 2-4 as necessary, for each subsite.

Note: The same procedure can be used to generate composite surface volumes.
