Is it possible to work out the volume of a building, similar to that done by the area command.

We need to find out the volume of a particular tenancy to define the construction type for the perimeter walls. It may sound simple to multiply the floor area x height but the building has a complex roof shape. Is this possible ?

Take a look at the massing tools (improved in 7.0). They'll report out volumes.

Not sure how easy it would be in R6 but if you are using R7 you can create a massing object that fills up the volume. From that you can look up the volume property of the massing object.

You can schedule and total massing volumes in 7.0.
