Calculate Bounding Box Data

When the task is run, it will assign the bounding box of the 3D file at the specified source file path (rounded to the specified number of decimal places and converted to a pipe-delimited string) to the Bounding Box data output.

It will also assign the midpoint of this bounding box (rounded to the specified number of decimal places and converted to a pipe-delimited string) to the Bounding Box Center data output.

This task has different types of Outputs. For more information about Outputs see Specification Macros Task Node.

Outputs are only available within Specification Macros.

Outputs

  • Bounding Box

The bounding box of the imported file (in millimeters) as a pipe bar delimited string in the format 'X-Min|Y-Min|Z-Min|X-Max|Y-Max|Z-Max'.

  • Bounding Box Center

The center of the bounding box of the imported file (in millimeters) as a pipe bar delimited string in the format 'X|Y|Z'.
