Re: Mesh volume
Is this a generic inquiry, or is there a specific item you need the volume of? As Keet says, SH3D can't do this. You could try exporting an object to .obj format, and opening it in Blender.

There install/activate the 3D Print Toolbox, and it can calculate and display the volume.

Something even fancier is the Bonsai addon for Blender. It is aimed at hardcore architects, which means the learning curve is steep. However it is designed to do things like "Quantity Take-Off". i.e. calculating lengths, areas and volumes for elements in a construction, and create spreadsheets of things, i.e. the concrete required for pouring a slab.
