Volume selection ?

you can get the bounding box of any object using  getBBox(), but this is an
untransformed bbox, you'll need to push the values you get back through the
object's transformation before it's any use if you've moved the object.

for my case checking the center of the object or at least the barycenter
will do the trick.


Thanks.
