Revit 2024 API |
Element..::..BoundingBox Property |
Element Class Example See Also |
Retrieves a box that circumscribes all geometry of the element.
Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 24.0.0.0 (24.0.0.0)
Syntax
C# |
---|
public BoundingBoxXYZ this[ View A_0 ] { get; } |
Visual Basic |
---|
Public ReadOnly Property BoundingBox ( _ A_0 As View _ ) As BoundingBoxXYZ Get |
Visual C++ |
---|
public: property BoundingBoxXYZ^ BoundingBox[View^ A_0] { BoundingBoxXYZ^ get (View^ A_0); } |
Parameters
- A_0
- Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..View
Remarks
Pass in a view to query view-specific (e.g., cut) geometry or nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) for model
geometry. If the view box is not known or cannot be calculated, this will return the model box;
if the model box is not known,
this will return nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). The box will always be aligned to the default axes of the
model coordinate system (thus no rotation should be applied to the return value).
Also note that this bounding box volume
may enclose geometry that is not obvious. For example, the "flip controls" that
could be part of a family will be included in the computation of the bounding box even
though they are not always visible in the family instance of the family.

private void GetElementBoundingBox(Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document document, Autodesk.Revit.DB.Element element) { // Get the BoundingBox instance for current view. BoundingBoxXYZ box = element.get_BoundingBox(document.ActiveView); if (null == box) { throw new Exception("Selected element doesn't contain a bounding box."); } string info = "Bounding box is enabled: " + box.Enabled.ToString(); // Give the user some information. TaskDialog.Show("Revit",info); }
