Calculate the ModelItem Bounding Box Directions using Navisworks API

[amitabhVA4SD]

Hi,

I am trying to draw a Bounding Box on clicking the Model Item but this is not working properly for oriented model items.
Is there a way to transform the bounding box to correctly display it?

Thanks,

Amitabh

//boundingbox of the current selection
                BoundingBox3D boundingBox = clickedModel.BoundingBox();
                //Returns the Transform attached to this item in the original source design file 
                Transform3D modelTransform = clickedModel.Transform;
                Point3D origin = boundingBox.Min;
                Vector3D xVector = new Vector3D((boundingBox.Max.X - boundingBox.Min.X), 0, 0);
                Vector3D yVector = new Vector3D(0, (boundingBox.Max.Y - boundingBox.Min.Y), 0);
                Vector3D zVector = new Vector3D(0, 0, (boundingBox.Max.Z - boundingBox.Min.Z));
                double X = boundingBox.Max.X - boundingBox.Min.X;
                double Y = boundingBox.Max.Y - boundingBox.Min.Y;
                double Z = boundingBox.Max.Z - boundingBox.Min.Z;

                //draw a cuboid
                graphics.Cuboid(origin, xVector, yVector, zVector, false);

good morning @amitabhVA4SD 

it's not clear what you want to achieve, what do you mean by oriented model?

if the bounding box you need is not aligned with the model can you share a screenshots for what you want to achieve, sharing at least two pictures is necessary in order to understand the difference between the two cubes (the one you want to achive and the wrong wone)
