Create Folder
Creates a new folder. This enables you to arrange your own pool into folders for better organization.
Drag and drop the nodes that you want to place within the folder from the XPresso Pool or XPresso
Editor into the folder.
XPresso Nodes
XPresso’s nodes are arranged by class and then by group. The XPresso class contains all the nodes
that belong to the CINEMA 4D core application. Nodes belonging to plugins or other modules, if
present, are listed under a different class. For details on these additional nodes, please refer to the
documentation supplied with your plugins and modules.
General Group
Bounding Box
This example queries the size of the bounding box for a spline object. This Bounding Box node also
outputs the smallest and largest coordinates of the corner points that make up the bounding box.
The maximum dimensions of an object are displayed in the viewport as red corners. These corners
form a ‘bounding box’, inside which the object ts. The dimensions of this bounding box are displayed
in the Coordinate manager when the Size drop-down list is set to Size.
The Bounding Box node gives you access to the dimensions of this bounding box. The object must
be a polygon object. If you want to use the node with a primitive object, you must rst make the
primitive editable.
In addition, if Used Deformed Points is enabled, deformed points will be taken into account to
ensure an accurate result. The Matrix Mode setting enables you to choose local coordinates or global
coordinates.
After connecting the Object port to the desired object, you can access the following information via
the output ports:
Box Minimum
Outputs the coordinates of the smallest corner point of the bounding box, as a vector.
