Creation method

[comment]: <> ()

There are two options for creating a 3D Dimension node.

  • The first way to create a 3D Dimension node using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need, or words associated with this node.
    • 3d, bounding, box, dimension, measure, width, height, length, depth
  • The second way is to select a 3D Dimension node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Dimensions > 3D Dimension

Steps

  • Create a 3D Dimension node.
  • Connect the geometry to the geometry port.
  • Toggle which dimensions to show (width, length, height, diagonal).
  • Optionally, connect a Dimension Style node to customize appearance.

The 3D Dimension node measures and visualizes the 3D bounding box dimensions of geometry with professional dimension lines, arrows, and extension lines. It automatically calculates width (X), length (Y), height (Z), and optionally diagonal measurements.

It outputs the following values:

Curve - Drawable dimension graphics with arrows and extension lines

Width - Numeric measured width (X dimension)

Length - Numeric measured length (Y dimension)

Height - Numeric measured height (Z dimension)

Diagonal - Numeric measured diagonal length

Works with any 3D geometry and provides professional CAD-style 3D dimensioning with customizable arrows, labels, and styling. Extension lines connect from bounding box corners to dimension lines without arrows.
