Update: After poking around a bit, I discovered that Compass will calculate cave volume based on centerline and LRUD data. Doing that means I have to run a Windows computer (ugh!) and type in the survey data twice (double ugh!) Fortunately the cave for which I need this is small.
Can this feature be added as a suggestion for future versions of Survex?
Compass does quite a few other calculations. For example, it will calculate the volume of the bounding box. A sample report is attached. It is nice that the report is in both meters and feet.

The process looks very complex to me, and besides - Loch does not run on my computers, so there is no way for me to generate an export.
