Finding volume of a created Model

Anonymous

I created a custom hopper, but would like to find it's volume. It is not a simple shape, as the bottom is an eccentric cone. Is there a way I can have revit give me the volume of my extrusion bend? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

You can change your Family's Category to Generic Models and load it into a Project. The Generic Models Category (and probably a couple of others) will display its Volume Under Properties when selected.

Hello,

 

Each category has its special needs, they understand that for Duct Fittings, volume is not necessary, if you convert to fabrication parts you will get more fabrication data.
