Hey guys,

Wondering if there is a way to get the dimensions of an 3d object like we have for 2d sprites.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

I believe that that does not take into account any scaling

@blink is there a method that does?
I would've thought that just gets the max and min points so scaling shouldn't matter but I may be missing something

If its a bug has it been reported ?

If you use setobjectscalepermanent it should take it into account, but regular scaling is done in a transformation matrix I think, so the mesh isn't altered. So in that sense, not a bug, no.

Hi there. Yeah setobjectscalepermanent works . Another method .

Quote: "
setobjectscale(obj,0.5,0.5,0.5)
fixobjectpivot(obj)
nsize=GetObjectMeshSizeMaxX(obj,1)-GetObjectMeshSizeMinX(obj,1)

You can calculate the size by getting the WorldX/Y/Z position of the boxes
