Civil object extents FYI

I guess this is more for everyone’s information than a question. If you use the Object.Extents node, it builds in a 100’ buffer around the object. Here is an example using a TIN Surface. If you are looking for an exact bounding box, you need to account for the 100’ buffer.

It should be related to object types. It works for AutoCAD lines as shown below.

@nick.turner66KAP the Type input is not correct, you need to use the drop down Object Types
