Hi Oliver, hi Renaud,

i'm still not getting the point of this computation. Why should somebody
compute the volume and the surface from a polyhedral representation of an
object? thats why i asked for the type of objects you want to compute the
measures for. is the shape object everything you have for your object?

cheers,
karsten
