Hi, I'm trying to sum the values of a layer in my volume. Currently I'm doing this with a detail wrangle and calling volumeindex for every cell. This is pretty slow and I was wondering if there was a better way? I have attached a sample .hip file. 

float sum = 0.0;
for (int x = 0; x < gridSamples; x++)
{
    for (int y = 0; y < gridSamples; y++)
    {        
        float value = volumeindex(1, "value", set(x, y, 0));
        sum += value;            
    }    
}

Thanks!
