Bounding Box to Box

There is one sample script trick to make Box with same dimention as Bounding Box of selected object and align it:

if selection.count == 1 then

(

b = Box pos:$.pos

b.width = ($.max.x - $.min.x)

b.length = ($.max.y - $.min.y)

b.height = ($.max.z - $.min.z)

b.transform = $.transform

b.center = $.center

b.pivot = $.pivot

b.xray = on

b.name = $.name + "_BBox"

)

It's useful in 2 cases: then you wish to make a low polygon version of object for proxy usage in XRef; or then need dimension for calculations.
