I would like to know how to calculate the volume of a solid object that is represented by Boundary representation (B-Rep)? Any hints? Thanks in advance

A: 

Thanks for the reply.

Because I would like to develop a B-Rep application that able to calculate the volume of a Polyhedron. I search through the internet and found a method which is dividing the whole polyhedron into many separate pyramids and sum up all the volume of the pyramids will give the volume of the Polyhedron. But it seems like this method doesn't work for the case where the polyhedron has hole. I also went through the qhull method but it only mention about calculating the volume of a convex polyhedron, is polyhedron that have hole consider a convex polyhedron?
