I am dealing with a major machine builder to create a fully Pro/Programmed machine assembly. However, I have run into a major stumbling block in the work zone calculation. This may be a little hard to explain but it's worth a shot if someone has a good answer or has done this before.
THE PROBLEM : I have programmed tool volumes represented by surface boxes in the model, they can change size shape and orientation based on user input. The ammount of zones can change from configuration to configuration and are very often oblique to one another. I would like to calculate the smallest possible bounding box that would enclose these volumes automatically.
