I'm trying to get the size of any object using the bounding box
def getSizes(self):
objSize = cmds.ls(sl = True)
#get the bounding box of x,y,z
sizeMinX = cmds.getAttr(objSize[0] + '.boundingBoxMinX')
sizeMaxX = cmds.getAttr(objSize[0] + '.boundingBoxMaxX')
sizeMinY = cmds.getAttr(objSize[0] + '.boundingBoxMinY')
sizeMaxY = cmds.getAttr(objSize[0] + '.boundingBoxMaxY')
sizeMinZ = cmds.getAttr(objSize[0] + '.boundingBoxMinZ')
sizeMaxZ = cmds.getAttr(objSize[0] + '.boundingBoxMaxZ')
#get the sizes
if (sizeMinX < 0 and sizeMaxX > 0) or (sizeMaxX < 0 and sizeMinX > 0):
sizeX = abs(sizeMinX) + abs(sizeMaxX)
else:
sizeX = abs(sizeMaxX) - abs(sizeMinX)
if (sizeMinY < 0 and sizeMaxY > 0) or (sizeMaxY < 0 and sizeMinY > 0):
sizeY = abs(sizeMinY) + abs(sizeMaxY)
else:
sizeY = abs(sizeMaxY) - abs(sizeMinY)
if (sizeMinZ < 0 and sizeMaxZ > 0) or (sizeMaxZ < 0 and sizeMinZ > 0):
sizeZ = abs(sizeMinZ) + abs(sizeMaxZ)
else:
sizeZ = abs(sizeMaxZ) - abs(sizeMinZ)
This works fine when the object is perpendicular to the x,y, or z axis
however when i rotate the object it gives me different sizes. for example
if i have a cube(10,10,10) it will return these values normally but when i
rotate the object it will give me different values.
Is there a way to get the bounding box of the object not in world space?
