Yes, there is an Revit API method that can help here and we are working on getting a component out based on it to do just this. We’ll reply to this post once it’s in the Daily Build Wip Rhino.Inside.Revit.

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I am tryin… g to find a way to create a closed volume representing the inner side of walls, floor and roof in Rhino inside Rebit and wonder of somebody have some ideas? The Revit file might not contain any rooms or spaces and geometry should be as simple as possible. Inner walls and floors should be ignored.
The tolerance is quite crude, 1-2 dm is fine in plan. Preferable the geometry should be as simple as possible, for the attached image I would prefer two boxes, one with 6 sides and one with seven (2 for the roof). If not I will have to clean it up manually afterwards. The method will be used in multiple projects but there will it will be a semi automated process to verify the input and if possible, the level of detail.
I see two problems here:
- Found external elements.
- Compute the internal volume.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
- To have a component that exposes `BuildingEnvelopeAnalyzer` and returns elements that are part of the building envelope.
- For computing the internal volume @japhyw is pointing out that *[Revit does a great job filling up the space via a Room Element](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/create-air-volume-model/134911/9)*.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
For simple building maybe a convex-hull do the job.
**Additional context**
See [Create air volume model](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/create-air-volume-model/134911).
