3D Solid Properties

    Is there a LISP routine that exports volume and area data of 3D solids into MS Excel?

    Imagine a compilation of various 3D solids in AutoCAD. Say a pyramid, rectangular box and a cube.

    When I want the volume of these solids I use the region/mass properties for each of them.

    Next I want to know the areas of the sides of each of these solids and I have to explode the 3D Solid so it becomes a compilation of 3d faces/regions and on them I can apply the area properties.

    Then I would want to display these figures in Excel.

    To this I have to use the region/mass properties three times, then I have to explode all solids, then I have to use the area properties 16 times and each figure I have to manually input into excel.

    I have seen a LISP routine that can transport the volume details into excel just by selecting all three solids, so in just one action.

    Just by selecting a compilation of 3D solids it transports the volume and side area details into excel.

    The details I would like to see in excel are:

    · Layer name

    · Volume per layer

    · Areas per layer but with each side the point information (XYZ) as well
