Get bounding box / AABB from model in NXOpen c++

Get bounding box / AABB from model in NXOpen c++

(OP)
I'm trying to grab a minimum bounding box / AABB for models loaded in NX using NXOpen and c++. I'm having a very hard time finding documentation for NXOpen, does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

RE: Get bounding box / AABB from model in NXOpen c++

The NX help is a separate install from NX; when you install the help docs, make sure to check the option for the programming docs (they are not installed by default). Now, start the NX help and go to the "programming tools" -> NXOpen -> Open for C/C++.

Also, GTAC has a lot of code examples to look through; go to:

(you will probably need a WebKey to log in) and start searching.

In C++ code, call UF_MODL_ask_bounding_box.

In VB or C#, you can use the SNAP property myThing.Box.
