Re: Create Solid from boundingbox

Hi,

I was looking for an answer to the very same question, ended up here, and re-created your solution.  To save the next person a bit of typing, here's my code.  I'd love a more elegant answer but this works for my needs.

        public static Solid solidBoundingBox(Solid inputSolid)
        {
            BoundingBoxXYZ bbox = inputSolid.GetBoundingBox();

            // corners in BBox coords
            XYZ pt0 = new XYZ(bbox.Min.X, bbox.Min.Y, bbox.Min.Z);
            XYZ pt1 = new XYZ(bbox.Max.X, bbox.Min.Y, bbox.Min.Z);
            XYZ pt2 = new XYZ(bbox.Max.X, bbox.Max.Y, bbox.Min.Z);
            XYZ pt3 = new XYZ(bbox.Min.X, bbox.Max.Y, bbox.Min.Z);
            //edges in BBox coords
            Line edge0 = Line.CreateBound(pt0, pt1);
            Line edge1 = Line.CreateBound(pt1, pt2);
            Line edge2 = Line.CreateBound(pt2, pt3);
            Line edge3 = Line.CreateBound(pt3, pt0);
            //create loop, still in BBox coords
            List<Curve> edges = new List<Curve>();
            edges.Add(edge0);
            edges.Add(edge1);
            edges.Add(edge2);
            edges.Add(edge3);
            Double height = bbox.Max.Z - bbox.Min.Z;
            CurveLoop baseLoop = CurveLoop.Create(edges);
            List<CurveLoop> loopList = new List<CurveLoop>();
            loopList.Add(baseLoop);
            Solid preTransformBox = GeometryCreationUtilities.CreateExtrusionGeometry(loopList, XYZ.BasisZ, height);

            Solid transformBox = SolidUtils.CreateTransformed(preTransformBox, bbox.Transform);

            return transformBox;
            
        }
