I want to measure surface volume of an area with different Plane Height above reference plane. There should be a tool for statistic calculation but I cannot find it in 3D analyst toolbox.
Is it exist in GIS 10.1 ?
Or which tool can help me to measure ?
[GIS] Where is Area and Volume statistics tool in ArcMap 10.1

If you want to calculate the volume above or below a given reference plane you do not have to create a reference plane data set.
The reference plane is just the elevation (e.g. 250 meters) of the plane.
In Surface Volume (3D Analyst) tool you have to specify this height as base_z parameter.
EDIT: If you really want to create a reference plane data set you can use Create Constant Raster (Spatial Analyst) tool.
All you need is your (clipped) TIN. You do not need a polygon (or contour lines).
You have to execute Surface Volume (3D Analyst) tool several times.
- Use Surface Volume (3D Analyst) with
reference_plane= above andbase_z= 25. You get the volume above 25 meter. - Run tool again with
base_z= 35. You get the volume above 35 meter. - Run tool again with
base_z= 45. You get the volume above 45 meter. - ...
(You can automate it with Modell Builder or Python.)

I know I am late to reply.
There is Surface Volume Tool in Arc Toolbox. Using this you can generate area and volume statistics in ArcGIS.
[Arc Toolbox -> 3D Analyst -> Functional Surface -> Surface Volume.]
You can also add the Area and Volume Statistics tool from Customize->Commands->Search for 'Area' (as shown here). Drag this to add in ArcGIS menubar.
