IGetBodyBox Method (IBody2)

Gets the bounding box for this body.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Sub IGetBodyBox( _
   ByRef BoxCorners As System.Double _
) 
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IBody2
Dim BoxCorners As System.Double
 
instance.IGetBodyBox(BoxCorners)
C# 
void IGetBodyBox( 
   ref System.double BoxCorners
)
C++/CLI 
void IGetBodyBox( 
&   System.double% BoxCorners
) 

Parameters

BoxCorners
Pointer to an array of 6 doubles representing the extents of the bounding box (see Remarks)

Remarks

The X,Y,Z points returned by SOLIDWORKS are the lower and upper diagonal corners which bound the body with the box sides parallel to the X, Y and Z axes. The box dimensions returned by SOLIDWORKS enclose the body and are typically close to the minimum possible size (this is typical, but not always true).


The return value is an array of doubles as follows:


[ XCorner1, YCorner1, ZCorner1, XCorner2, YCorner2, ZCorner2 ]


IMPORTANT: The values returned are approximate and should not be used for comparison or calculation purposes. Furthermore, the bounding box may vary after rebuilding the model.
