Just found your answer VOLUME3D() FUNCTION

Or in your GDL Manual - Non-Geometric Scripts --> The Properties Script --> VOLUME3D

Sorry, my past suggestion is wrong in case that you need to calculate the volume in an script other than properties script

I just read something in the ArchiCAD GDL reference guide that may interest you.

There is the possibility that you can use volume3D() in Property Script, use Text/data GDL add-on to export your results from within the Property Script, then use the same Add-on to import the data.

It's a long way.
