Bounding Box

 History enabled

The BoundingBox command creates a box that encloses all selected objects, or each object in selection.

  • If the objects are coplanar and parallel to a world plane or a CPlane, the bounding box may be a rectangle.

    Otherwise, a box is created.

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