Maybe you could create a Zone for the enclosing volume. That would be Shape 1.
Then use Slab and Roof and create SEO operations to create shape 2.
Then you could subtract Shape 2 from Shape 1 to achieve share 3.
Then you could schedule these shapes.

I do not currently use 3D Zones, do they SEO?

Yes, they do and the volumes reported should reflect the result of the SEOs.
