Navisworks doesn't work with solids, it effectively "skins" the objects in triangles for performance reasons. That makes dynamic calculation of volume inaccurate. I would suggest ensuring the objects in question have a volume property from the originating software.

This is a massive restriction for us:
The fact that it can't get volumes from 3D Solids
That it skins 3D objects which makes sectioning hard to visualise when comparing objects.
