<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Thanks for your response, but I'm not sure I understand. Since only one extent dimension is allowed, the calculator only tells me the linear measurement (height, width,
<b>or </b>depth) of the boxes. I'm looking for the cubic measurement (height, with,
<b>and</b> depth). Unless I'm missing something, the extent calculator only reports in linear inches.<o:p></o:p></p>

required, but any of the three dimensions is possible, so you certainly can have it key off of cubic measurements rather than linear. So if you measure by cubic feet rather than linear feet, that’s fine. Dimension units is the field where you indicate whether
it’s inches, cm, nautical miles (</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Wingdings">J</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">), etc. The idea of the dimension field is that it indicates which way the content actually
is in the container, and thus represents the extent of the stuff more closely than the extent of the container itself.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The extent calculator takes whatever the value is for the desired dimension and multiples it by the count of containers
with that dimension for the collection/accession/part there of being calculated. It doesn’t take the next step of turning total inches into feet or total cm into meters. So that also does not limit you to a particular type of measurement.

material in the container by calculating the product of all three dimensions. But the space calculator does enable you to determine if a 3D container will fit into a 3D space in your stacks, if all dimensions are supplied.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
