Boundbox for angled parts

Post by Chairy »

Hi!

I would like to get the largest dimensions of a general part, i.e length, width and height. I believe it is possible to use Boundbox to return this type of data. However BoundBox contain XLength/YLength/ZLength and a part can be oriented in any way in space not strictly following the x, y and z-axis. Are there any predefined FreeCAD functions that returns the outer dimensions for such an "angled" part?

I am currently using the latest stable 0.13 release, as the more recent 0.14 version have not worked well with Spyder.

Thanks
