A single word that collectively means volume, shape and size
With regard to a hollow object (such as a room), is there a single word that
captures the collective import of the terms 'volume', 'shape' and 'size'?
(particularly in the fields of mathematics or architecture, preferably the latter!)

I think measures comes close to what you are looking for:
- Dimensions, quantity, or capacity as ascertained by comparison with a standard.
