[Therion] Calculation of cave volume

One thing that may not have been clear in my original question ...  Several people have pointed out a way to calculate cave volume using Paraview and MeshLab.  That is great!  

But not much use here.  In this situation I need to be able to reproduce the number I got two and a half years ago.  I do not remember how I got that number.  Part of this court case revolves around some conclusions that were made by others and which were based on the volume calculation I obtained then.  The number I get from Meshlab is almost 5 times larger than the number I got back then.

Is it possible that a version of Therion or Survex from back then produced an estimate of cave volume, and since then that calculation was taken out?

I need to find that information again, but it has so far eluded me.  I thought it was in therion.log along with other statistics like length and bounding box dimensions, but now I do not find it there.  The estimation was based on solids calculated from centerline and LRUD data.
