Hi all, is it possible to get an annotation “bounding box”?

Hi Soren, Haha! Actually I also thought of it previously, but you know when i’ll again turn the leader on it wont be same as I made it earlier, so it will be more work yk! What I wanted here was to create a underline below the text in my tag, which is as a parameter. So to compute the length of t…

Yep, but you need to use Python and call the BoundingBox[view] property accessor yourself as the OOTB nodes fail (they pass null as the view input which is fine for elements not restricted to views, but invalid for elements which are…such as annotations).

Hi Thomas, When I get the bounding box, it comes in as a ReflectedIndexer & I can’t get useful information out of it… Would you mind helping? Thanks :slight_smile: Mark [image] [image]

As @Thomas_Mahon said, you would need to pass a view. The syntax is different than a method where you pass arguments using (), instead you would use [] . So for yours to work, you need to either add a view input or get the owner view and pass that as the argument like this: bbox.append(t.BoundingBo…

Thanks Kenny, I would never have worked that out! Now that you say it, I can see how it’s noted in the documentation :slight_smile: & I properly understand Thomas’ response. I just changed it to bbox.append(t.BoundingBox[view].ToProtoType()) to get a Dynamo usable output… [image] Cheers, Mar…

Hi, I’m trying to use @Alban_de_Chasteigner 's genius loci package for the same, but looks like it is giving points which are quite far (min and max). [image] Any thoughts? Regards, Atharva Purohit

Hi @atharva.purohit466SX Seem close to me have you tested in your view? [image] [8a1cd72dfe3effcfcaf7d2b862ccf98ec398eb25] Cheers, KS

Hi Kai, Thanks for replying, let me try it out. Btw, why did you use geometry.translate? Regards, ap

Hi I tried it, [image] it is giving till leader and at some point on the tag, I wanted bounding box for just text part, looks like it is not possible.

Hi @atharva.purohit466SX …here is a dirty idea :wink: , but could probably help… I try to on/off the leader as here… [Capture]
