Bounding dimensions

Hi all,





I have a part model and I want to calculate the length, breadth and height of the model. I want to calculate bounding dimensions for a circular shaped parts too.


Whats the best way to do this?

What you are looking for is called an outline or bounding box. The display outline can be calculated by calling ProSolidispoutlineGet(). But that gets you the bounding box as it pertains to the display window. To get the "extremes" of a model (excluding datums) call ProSolidOutlineGet() (including datums) call ProSolidOutlineCompute().
