Parameters

BBoxType

Bounding Box fit type as defined in swGlobalBoundingBoxFitOptions_e (see Remarks)

Status

Status as defined by swGlobalBoundingBoxResult_e

If BBoxType is set to swGlobalBoundingBoxFitOptions_e.swBoundingBoxType_CustomPlane, then select a face or plane using IModelDocExtension::SelectByRay with TypeWanted set to swSelectType_e.swSelFACES before calling this method.

To display or hide the Bounding Box sketch, call IModelDoc2::SetUserPreferenceToggle to set swUserPreferenceToggle_e.swViewDispGlobalBBox to true or false, respectively.

After calling this method, use IModelDoc2::ClearSelection2 to clear the selection made when the Bounding Box is created.
