I am trying to get the volume of stairrun, but I got this:

I can’t use element.geometry on my stair coz it is a spiral stair

Hello,
can you share a simple rvt file with the spiral stair?

@newshunhk , hi

Have you tried also accessing runs and Landing? actually you can also access via Element.Solid…

yes the only way to get the volume of this stair is by element.geometry
but using too much geometry will sometimes makes my revit freeze up :frowning:
and some special shape stairs I cannot get their geometry :frowning:
