The "Enveloping Box" mode allows you to create properties for the entire part by specifying:

  • A reference frame for calculations: the part's origin, the part's principal axes, or a custom coordinate system.
  • A uniform or different offset along the three axes relative to the chosen reference frame.

To obtain the result in the table, click on the button .


Offset of the bounding box:

The offset occurs all around the part.

Example:

    • By specifying a different value for each of the three axes, the results in the table show the calculated values.


 


    • If you check the " All the same " option, only one offset value is required.


 


When you select a predefined coordinate system, the bounding box is then calculated taking the offset into account.

Example: By selecting one of the two coordinate systems here—"System 1."


 



It is possible to ensure that the EntityProperties function always remains at the bottom of the construction tree, thereby keeping the bounding box up to date despite changes to the 3D model.

To do this, check this box:
