ZoomSelected acts differently on Blocks

Rhino Rhino for Windows

Seems like the ZoomSelected acts differently on Blocks vs other objects.
The same geometry when turned into a block and ZoomSelected-ed leaves much bigger margin in the view around it vs. non-block ones.

Is this a bug? Are currently processing a lot of block objects libraries and all of their preview/thumbnail images are zoomed out more than they should be.

Hi Jarek - I see that… and I don’t have a good idea yet. I’ll poke some more. I’m thinking bounding boxes are somehow involved here, but just how.

Hi Pascal,

Thanks, looks like it has to do with bounding boxes as you said. If I do World-based bounding-box for each and then ZoomSelected to that bounding box, the result is what blocks have now (more zoomed-out). Now, If I change CPlane to View, do CPlane-Based BoundingBox and ZoomSelected to that, the zoom looks like the correct (fully-zoomed one). So perhaps Blocks are using the different way of BBox calculation compared to other object types.
For now I am using a script to automate the above process for blocks to get good looking thumbnails, but maybe it could be tweaked in Rhino at some point.

best,
