part size to user parameters

[MJK_Performance]

ok I am very new to this API stuff... 

what I am trying to do is get the  length/width/height (bounding box) of a selected body and have those values set into user parameters so that I can drive a body from that for super easy cam stock.

though I am stuck on pretty much all of that...

Hi,

I am no API expert, but I found an article that might help.

This is from Brian Ekins, perhaps the authority on API in Fusion.

Please let me know if this helps or not.

Thanks,

That's a cracking resource! @MJK_Performance did you end up getting this sorted?

No, my lack of knowledge in python really held me back on this one
