BoundingBox

The BoundingBox command creates a rectilinear box object (polyline or polysurface) that encloses selected objects.

Steps

Select the objects.

If the objects are contained in a plane parallel to a coordinate system plane, the bounding box is a rectangular polyline.

Otherwise, a polysurfaces box is created.

The extreme corners of the bounding box object are reported at the command line in the chosen coordinate system.

Command-line options

CoordinateSystem

CPlane

Bases the object creation on construction plane coordinates.

World

Bases the object creation on world coordinates.

Output

For three-dimensional objects, specifies the results.

Solids

Creates a solid box.

Meshes

Creates a mesh box.

Curves

Creates six grouped rectangles.

None

Reports the dimensions of the bounding box at the command line.
