If everything is static, you can set up an alternate 2D version where you
perform your calculations. Otherwise you can also check the position and size
of each wall to try and figure out these boundaries yourself.
I'm not sure how easy it is to implement, but you might also be able to use a
3D physics engine to tell you about collisions, although that might be overkill.

Can you elaborate a bit?

If everything is cube sized/2 dimensional, use a tile grid for
