Hello,
In SolidWorks, I try to find the solution to retrieve the external dimensions of a part (x, y and z values), in a property.
The goal is to recover the external volume of each room. The existing volume property gets the final value, with all the material removal, which I don't like.
I searched through SmartProperties and SmartBOM options, but I couldn't find what I was looking for...
Thank you
Hello,
Bounding box
There is a way to retrieve this in the memory parts properties.
You have to look on the forum this subject has been discussed several times.
Hello;
As you have the MyCad suite:
Look at the EntityProperties tool
Otherwise, I'd like @froussel => BoudingBox
Thank you,
But to get these values, you have to run another application... My goal is to retrieve these lengths of stock in the nomenclature by only launching smartBOM... (the video does not work)
!!! That wasn't the starting point!!
I don't think SmartBom can create the bounding box itself, it would have to open the 3D one by one to create the Properties anyway.
With Smartproperties it is possible to create the desired Properties:
Then to retrieve them with SmartBom.
But this is not a solution that I would recommend for questions of updating the said dimensions on 3D components.
Smartproperties only updates if it is launched, and for this you would have to use " Integration " to launch Smartproperties on all components BEFORE recovering them with SmartBom...
And if the objective is also to limit the applications to be launched...
Hello,
I do a lot of bounding boxes and in my MEPs I usually integrate a small 3D view (iso or other) with the footprint on the LxWxH side. This allows you to order suitable wooden packaging or to reserve the necessary space for transport, it is visual and generally suits well. And this is updated as soon as the part is modified
To do this, I use a macro that creates a 3D sketch
A nice example of a macro for the visualization cube by @m_blt here:
