Overall Volume

Hi everyone,
I wanted to have the overall volume of an object, but I don’t have any idea, could you please help me…

Thanks in advance

there’s a Volume component that does exactly what you’re looking for:

Hello
I think you need the “minimum bounding box” to calculate the volume. Some links there

Minimum Bounding Box

Getting that calculates the minimum bounding box to fill the entire piece. Whatever their orientation. Now creates a bounding box parallel to the plane C For me it is very interesting to know what the minimum bounding box regardless of its orientation in space. I want to calculate the minimum dimensions of material to get through CNC the pieces.

Minimum bounding box python script

Is there a Rhino python script out there to find a minimum bounding box (or cylinder)? I ran across this from @Helvetosaur in 2013 - Sunday scripting - minimum 3D bounding box - along with some others, but they are written in VB which I am not very familiar with. I’m just trying to save myself some hours of figuring out the VB and rewriting it in python.

Minimum Bounding Box for Rhino 6? (wouldn't work)

Hey guys, here is the script Minimum Bounding Box which worked fine in Rhino 5. MinBoundBox3d(RhV4).rvb (15.2 KB) Seems it doesn’t work anymore in v6, even I need it badly. Thanks for your ideas to get it working again. Hannes [image]

The other solution would be to use a Convex Hull.

Hi Laurent,
Thanks a lot,
I could write an algorithm to find the minimum bounding box of the object, I know it can’t be used for all kind of objects but for me it works…
