Volume tag item to cylinder

Hi Team

 

Does anyone know a simple way to add the volume to this item so that when I set up the tag I can put a volume on the tag list? then when I am changing the sizes of them they will all display the actual volume rather than having to text it and change the text each time?

 

Its just a simple tag idea

Calculated Parameter in Tag will get you there if you have Height and Radius Parameters.

Small but sticky question

I have the volume calculation in and that's showing in my analysis

first question is how do I get it to show in the label - as a generic model or plumbing fixture I cant find a Category Parameter to load into the label parameter that shows volume?

Also can it be done in Litres? (or you might say Liters)?

 

any ideas 

 

thanks

Thanks for response, but,...

unfortunately I don't seem to have volume in my drop down list, (I tried to change the family category just in case they had different options in the category parameters, I tried it as a Generic Model and Specialty Equipment too adn volume does not seem to shown up)  this is the closest I can get to it and it does not work; I tried it in case there was a language interpretation chance but not so. I also tried to use the GB Volumen and make that Litres and tag that as well but it does not show up and tbh I don't know what GB Volumen means as it was the only thing that looked anything like a volume. It seems either Revit Lt does not have it or I need to add them prior to getting to this point??

I did try and set it up as different tags too but it does not show

 

I also tried this process but that did not work either:

I attached the tank but that wont help as its just a cylinder model
