Bounding Box Union

Creation method#

There are two options for creating a Bounding Box Union node.#

• The first way to create a Bounding Box Union 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.
  • bbox , bb, union
• The second way is to select a Bounding Box Union node from the menu that opens from the top left.
  • Menu > Tool > Analysis > Bounding Box Union

Steps#

• Create a Bounding Box Union node.
• Connect a list of geometries to the geometry input.
• Optionally, connect a plane to define orientation (defaults to XY plane).
• The output ports will provide measurements of the combined bounding box.

The Bounding Box Union node calculates the bounding box that encompasses multiple geometries at once. You can optionally provide a reference plane to compute the bounding box in a specific orientation.

It outputs the following values:

Center point of the union bounding box

Width (X direction size)

Length (Y direction size)

Height (Z direction size)

Area of the resulting bounding box surface or volume (depending on geometry types)

Works with curves, surfaces, and solids. Geometry is automatically transformed to the specified plane before measuring.
