Cuboid Max or Min Point Location

1

I am trying to get a consistent Point from multiple misshaped elements to measure from.

Bounding Box seems to be the best chance for the this as I can get a Corner from a Max or Min…Centroid point or any other center points (Line Start Point) will not work for me.

I have successfully created Cuboids with rotations needed to measure from. The issue is I cannot find the location of the Max or Min of Cuboid like I can a Bounding Box? Is this possible to find these points?

Once I get this is location point for Multiple odd shaped elements I can run a distance.to to compare what is the same for Hosted Elements.

You could convert the cuboid a boundingbox, get the max or min point and measure from that?

Perhaps pull all the vertexes, and sort by length as a vector? I think that will give the right pairing. :slight_smile:

you can alway use trilateration :slight_smile:. you will need to convert those to autodesk geometry and use their dot/cross product methods

I have looked into all your suggestions. It looks like location point or start end is my most common point that will account for multiple elements angles, mirrors, flips…all things that a user will dream up. Not as bulletproof as I wanted but it still gets us to the finish line.
