Show volume of all selected elements

Is there a way to simply show volumen of all selected components in Archhicad or maybe any of free bim viewers?

You can use the Element Information palette:

add a shortcut or dock it to the side of your window if you want even quicker access.

i don't know about the BIM viewer tools though...

Hi Gerry, this is perfect thank you!
the only thing is, I have many elements and I have to calculate the sum up volume. in Element Information pallete, there are volumes of seperate elements shown and I need a sum-up.

Have you tried Interactive Schedules?

These can show totals as well.

Thank you both answers are correct!

At the end I have simply checked the sum up vollume in a free ifc viewer bim vision.

Interactive Schedules would also work
