New Designer Calculates Incorrect Volume - Mr. Mortius - 07-29-2018
A 46.4443393 x 46.4443393 x 46.4443393 meter cube reports as having a volume of 94,569 instead of 100,184 as it should. This occurs for other shapes too, seemingly at random.
Edit:
This occurs for cubes without that degree of precision. A 46.45^3 cube had the same issue.
Edit:
10x10x100 + 2x4x23 prisms still report as 94,569 instead of 100,184 m^3.
This optimized city for a 1,800 meter harsh environment world has 93 m^3 of tolerance out of 1638400 m^3 possible volume, or an allowable error of .0057%. It's difficult to design to that accuracy when the designer doesn't report volumes correctly.

The volume calculation is an approximation. Do not expect a high precision result.
Also, a bug recently fixed caused an error in that approximation, when windows created holes through the model.

Sure, I understand that for complex shapes. It should probably be capable of calculating the volume of a cube, though.
