Dear Vitezslav Peka,

You could analyse the floor geometry as described in various blog posts:

This one shows how to get the horizontal section of a slab from one of its faces:

This one discusses obtaining a vertical section from a wall from another of its faces:

In Revit 2012, the BooleanOperationsUtils  class also provides access to Boolean operations in the project context, which would allow you to define the section view in any way that you see fit and then analyse the resulting gometry to obtain the edges you are interested in in a similar way.

Cheers, Jeremy.
