Still need help! Somebody else has python code for " Geometry.BoundingBox" node, i need to view for reference.

Hello,

Are you trying to get the BB of a 2d view? If so, you might need to use view.Outline instead.

thanks Dimitar Venkov for reply, but i don’t know the result of function "Outline.Min or Outline.Max " ??

I need to get bounding box of view and then difine the center point of the view on a sheet, so i need to get the max and min of the bounding box.

Still need your help !!

The view’s outline is similar to to a bounding box for 2d views. However it’s the paper space size, so you’ll need to scale it by the view’s scale. Once you do that, you should be able to get the average of the min and max XYZ.
