Hey everyone. I want to drop the axis of my object to the bottom of the bounding box.

I can accomplish this by moving the points of the object like so.....

  
//DROP AXIS  
  //=====================================//  
  if(bc->GetBool(PXG_DROP_AXIS) == TRUE)  
  {  
      for(int i = 0; i < pointCount; i++)  
      {  
          points[i].y += op->GetRad().y;  
      }  
  
      main = polyObj;  
        
  }  
  
  //=====================================//

However, the bounding box itself does not move.. Anyone know how I get the bounding box to move with this change?

Thanks,

Shawn

To elaborate... Here is how I set the bounding box...

  
  
//SET THE BOUNDING BOX  
//=====================================//  
void MyClass::GetDimension(BaseObject *op, Vector *mp, Vector *rad){  
  
  if(!main) return;  
  *rad =  main->GetRad();   
    
}

In GetDimension(), you provide the bounding box information. GetRad() and GetMp() use this for a plugin object. It is up to you, my friend, to calculate the relevant information to return with that method.

Thanks Robert. That was the issue, I was not filling the *mp value in GetDimension.

Thanks again,

Shawn
