Pete91 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Thought i'd post in here instead of via pm in case someone else finds it useful.This is copied from a pm I replied to ages ago:The way to do it is to use the formula:Volume = length x breadth x heightSo what you need to do is draw out a template of the base of the box (use the boot carpet thing as a stencil). Then you measure the length of it and the breadth of it. The thing you are trying to work out is the height of the box.For example, if the length is 50cm and the breadth is 60cm and you also know that the volume is 24.069 then you just plug those numbers into the formula:24.069 = 50 x 60 x heightHeight = (24.069 / (50 x 60)) x 10,000The times by 10,000 puts it all back into centimetres. Also, the measurements were just random figures for the example and yours will be different. Also remember this is the internal volume so if you're using 18mm mdf then you'll need to take this into account when making the box.I feel like a maths teacher hahaNot sure if that answers your question? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
