Hi, I’m Mark.

I are making a new [Mod](https://discourse.cataclysmdda.org/t/m-a-g-armory-mod/21997) and I want to learn how to **calculate** the **in-game volume of items**.

**e.g.** I have a _sword_ that have a **total length** of **2 meters (200 cm or 78,7 inch)** how do I _convert_ theses numbers to **in-game "volume"**

The same for a _knife_ that have **40 cm ( 0,4 m or 15,7 inch)**

Any **help** would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for explaining that to me. But how do I convert 2 meters in milliliters? If you know a manner to do that I’ll be glad

It’s length is 2 meters.  
Find it’s width and height in meters.  
Multiply those together.  
Divide by 1000000.
