Scope box location

Is it possible to get the coordinates of scope box?

@npan, try this logic:

  1. Select the scope box with Dynamo;
  2. Get bounding box of this scope box;
  3. Convert bounding box to cuboid;
  4. Get the center point of the solid with “Solid.Centroid” node.

Or maybe it’s possible to get geometry by Element.Geometry node - I cannot say for sure, cause I’m not at my computer now.

Careful with bounding boxes for this type of exercise. They won’t align with any rotated scope boxes.

@npan, following up with your question, here’s how it could be done in Dynamo:

@jacob.small, whether you rotate your Scope Box or not, its center point should stay in place. If we’re talking about the corner points of rotated scope box, then yes, boundingbox will shift them.
