Here's a function which should return the volume as shown in the Measure Utility. 

(
fn calculateVolume obj =
(
local volume = 0.0
local objMesh = snapshotAsMesh obj
local objFaces = objMesh.numFaces
for f = 1 to objFaces do
(
v = getFace objMesh f
v1 = getVert objMesh v.x
v2 = getVert objMesh v.y
v3 = getVert objMesh v.z
volume += ((v2.y-v1.y)*(v3.z-v1.z)-(v2.z-v1.z)*(v3.y-v1.y))*(v1.x+v2.x+v3.x)
)
volume / 6.0
)
units.formatValue (calculateVolume $)
)

Cheers,
Martijn
