Hi @Hendri.wicaksono,

You could use the Convert Between Units node to get cubic meters from the Solid.Volume:

I’m guessing your current result is cubic millimeters.

Afterwards I would create a new volume shared parameter, and then write your new result into this.

Hi @MartinSpence ,
Thanks for your respon and your advice :grinning:. I’ve added that node on my box girder dynamo, but still have the same result on my dynamo project like this picture.

Direct shapes do not have a volume as they are not solids by default, so if you need that parameter you’ll have to create the geometry in a different way (ie: FamilyType.ByGeometry and FamilyInstance.ByPoint)
