Has anyone made a Creo toolkit application that can generate max dimensions for a given 3D model?
3 parameters must be generated in the 3D model…
The application must automatically analyze the model so it fits into the smallest possible surrounding box disregarding how the coordinate system is placed (see attached screenshots).
Solved! Go to Solution.
This idea has been posted to address the issue I am dealing with....:

While we are waiting for R&D to develop it have we decided to write our own application.
Thanks for all your feedback 🙂

- MAX_LENGTH
- MAX_WIDTH
- MAX_HEIGTH
- MAX_DIAMETER for tubular parts (option)

I am not a toolkit user however isn't that a built in api in toolkit?
ProSolidOutlineGet() is what you are looking for.

Be careful with this. Using ProSolidOutlineGet() can return a bigger outline than expected.
This function takes into consideration surfaces/curves (or others, I don't recall) that do not represent the real solid outline /dimensions.
Yes, It gives max boundary.
