How to get object dimensions using python

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I just try to get object dimensions using python code

 

I don't know how to get that x, y, z after access Inode..

Should I access Object thru Inode? but Object doesn't have dimentions property.. (https://help.autodesk.com/view/3DSMAX/2018/ENU/?guid=__py_ref_class_max_plus_1_1_object_html)

(GetObject, GetBaseObject, GetObjectRef which one can access to get dimensions?)

Thanks.

because for modern versions of 3DS MAX only pymxs is available, the dimension can be obtained as:

import pymxs
rt = pymxs.runtime
n = rt.selection[0]
#local:
bb = rt.nodeLocalBoundingBox(n) 
bb[1] - bb[0]
#or world:
n.max - n.min
