how to find the size of an object... 2004-04-26 - By kim aldis
Back
this from the scripting docs. Turn this into a button and away you go.:-
dim xmin, ymin, zmin, xmax, ymax, zmax
dim list
set list = GetValue( "SelectionList" )
GetBBox list, FALSE, xmin, ymin, zmin, xmax, ymax, zmax
LogMessage "Lower Bound: " & xmin & " / " & ymin & " / " & zmin
LogMessage "Upper Bound: " & xmax & " / " & ymax & " / " & zmax

You could switch the ruler on, rather than counting lines.
Personally I'd never call a unit anything other than a unit.

I need to have my unit settings on "decimal inches" and i am not sure how to
do this. I changed my unit settings under prefs to inches. so i hope thats
right. NOW i need to know how big a model is that i made. is there a way to
check the demensions of a model? or do i just count grid lines?
thanks
