Hi,
Is it possible to get the dimensions of a generated Text Mech ?
I was looking in the custom properties, but I think it is not the right place. Thanks in advance.
Best Dennis

Hi, we’re going to support puzzle to calculate object dimensions in the upcoming pre-release. Meanwhile, you can use JavaScript for that as suggested by xeon.

Thanks Xeon and Alexander.
Looking forward to the puzzle, and in the meanwhile I try out the javascript.

```
var obj = getObjectByName(objName);
var meshArray = obj.resolveMultiMaterial();
console.log(meshArray[0].geometry.boundingBox.max.x - meshArray[0].geometry.boundingBox.min.x);
console.log(meshArray[0].geometry.boundingBox.max.y - meshArray[0].geometry.boundingBox.min.y);
console.log(meshArray[0].geometry.boundingBox.max.z - meshArray[0].geometry.boundingBox.min.z);
```
but XYZ scale before exporting must be 1.0 and YZ coordinates are swaped…

Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.
