PART ENVELOPE
(OP)
Is there any way to create a part envelope around a model to get the stock size I will need to create the part?

Use MEASURE INERTIA and customize it to include PRINCIPAL AXES. Measure the Inertia of the Part Body, and KEEP the measurements. You'll see the part envelope displayed around the part.
Look in the tree at the bottom of the Analysis branch - you'll find three BBL values. These are the x,y,z lengths of the Boundary Box, based on the inertia axis.

Right click over the script on the above websight.
Save as.
change it from HTM to all files.
call it BoundingBox.CATScript
Do you have a spot you keep macros?
Then like Kapmc Alt+F8 or Tools-->Marco-->Macros
