Internal volume measuring tool

I think a useful addition to the measuring tool or maybe a feature script would be the ability to select parts in an assembly that define a closed volume and have that value displayed.  Right now the way I did it was create a part studio in context of an assembly and create a part that was the internal volume using Boolean etc on the part until it represented the internal volume and then use the mass properties to display it's volume.

My assembly was pretty simple, I imagine something more complex like a pipe manifold, tank, or other fluid handling machinery would be much more difficult and time consuming to have to do this.
