1. SHAPESSHAPES

2. Create a revolved shape using a spline Place the center of the base on the Origin Center point and use the Origin axis and work planes. This will simplify the placement of the block of ice that determines volume. Use surfaces to create the initial shapes Origin Center Point

3. Create a spout-use loft with rails to control the shape (Make it intersect into the pot)

4. You can made the surfaces opaque. (They seem to respond to splits and thicken better if you do)

5. Split the 2 surfaces twice, once with the spout as the split tool and once with the body as the split tool Then thicken the desired pieces. (There will be a hole into the spout from the body) (Make the surfaces invisible) (A mid plane thicken makes the best connection)

6. If desired you can then split the end off the spout. (Or you can place the spout shape on an angled work plane for the loft)

7. Add a handle (I used a sweep) and you are now ready to calculate the volume of liquid your pot can hold

8. Start a new part and place a block of ice that will be split to give the volumetric interior shape

9. Derive the pot and modify your ice to envelope the pot up to the desired level in the spout.

10. Split the pot and the ice. (the ice has to be below the edge of the spout for this to work)

11. To remove the outer ice use delete face/delete lump

12. Volume of water =86.231 in^3 Or 5.97 Cups (Water level is just below the end of the spout) To show just the interior volume deselect “view/object visibility/construction surfaces” Then use iProperties to determine volume of solid. 1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches, and 1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons, and 1 gallon = 16 cups, so 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches 1 cup = 14.44 cubic inches So take your cubic inches and divide it by 14.44 to get how many cups it is!
