retrieving data from bounding box in CATIA using CATscript

retrieving data from bounding box in CATIA using CATscript

(OP)
Hi all. I have a surface model and I want to create the bounding box in order to retrieve the 8 points that create it. I need these points to create geometrical elements such as planes. I actually need two planes for each boundary in x and in z. I have created a script that creates the bounding box and gives me the BBOX, BBOY, BBOZ, BBLX, BBLY and BBLZ. From BBOX, BBOY and BBOZ I take the first vertex of the box. Is there a way to achieve these points or is there a different way that I can create a basic shape that includes my model automated, cause the model changes and I need a script that will always run.

Any ideas will be great.
Thanks again.
