Bounding Volume Generator

Eyeballing an envelope box by hand means measuring extents, guessing an orientation, and hoping nobody rotated the part since your last check. Bounding Volume Generator skips all three: pick a body, and it builds the smallest rectangular volume that actually wraps it, oriented to how the part really sits, not just its raw X/Y/Z extremes.

What it does

• True-fit bounding box, Aligns the generated volume to the body’s own center of gravity and principal axes, so oddly rotated or tilted parts still get a tight, meaningful envelope.
• Built-in clearance margin, Grows the box by a configurable thickness in one pass, turning it into a ready-made packaging or interference-check volume.
• Self-documenting naming, Labels the resulting geometry with its own dimensions, so the size is visible at a glance from the specification tree.

How it works

Select the body you want to envelope, and the generator measures it, builds the volume around its natural orientation, and reports the result, all in the time it takes to read this sentence.

Where it fits

Bounding Volume Generator is included from the Professional plan up. It earns its keep anywhere a quick, honest envelope matters, sizing packaging or shipping crates, running a fast interference check against a fixture or enclosure, or simply reporting a part’s true footprint without opening a spreadsheet. A small, recurring task that adds up over a design’s lifetime, solved once and left alone.
