I’m using tubeFilter with clapping along a spline, and I’m trying to compute the volume inside the resulting tube…  
I read somewhere I can use massProperty to get that volume, but I’m failing to “convert” tubeFilter to massProperties.  
I’m very new with VTK and any suggestion will be very helpful.  
Thanks in advance.
