Cylindrical Bounding Boxes

You can create cylindrical bounding boxes that are useful for bodies with cylindrical geometry such as rotational, circular, or turned parts. SOLIDWORKS® captures the bounding box parameters and records them in the Custom Properties dialog box.

Click Insert > Reference Geometry > Bounding Box. In the PropertyManager, under Type of Bounding Box, select Cylindrical. SOLIDWORKS generates the smallest cylindrical bounding box that fits the model.
