Subelement.GetBoundingBox

Public Class

Retrieves a box that circumscribes all geometry of the subelement.

Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)

Syntax

public BoundingBoxXYZ GetBoundingBox(
  View dbView
)

Parameters

dbView View

The view for view-specific geometry or . for model geometry.

Return Value

BoundingBoxXYZ
The bounding box.

Remarks

Pass in a view to query view-specific (e.g., cut) geometry or . 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 .. 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.
