how to get model height,weight ?

[Gamecode]

hi... i have in my game menu, and in menu is one window, and in this windows is rotating model .... but : i have models diferent size ... first model is ok in this window, second (bigger model) is too big and is out of this windows (model is bigger than this window)

and i need get model size , and from this size rescale complete model to size like model one.

Use GetBoundingBox to get the maximum width, lenght and height of the model, then use the biggest of the three and compare it to your first models biggest value (or to a fixed one) and use the relation of the two to get a scale value. Something like ValueOfFirstModel / ValueOfSecondModel will give you a value to scale the second model accordingly.

[Gamecode]

Code:

Dim a As TV_3DVECTOR
Dim b As TV_3DVECTOR

letadlo.GetBoundingBox a, b

MsgBox a.X
MsgBox a.Y
MsgBox a.z

MsgBox b.X
MsgBox b.Y
MsgBox b.z

max height is a.x + b.x ?

[Gamecode]

i have : Abs(a.X) + Abs(b.X)

thanx WEst

[WEst]

I think it should be b.x-a.x as the second parameter is always bigger than the first.

To use the bounding box, you need to transform it to your viewport's camera matrix because getting the width and height. An easier option would be to use a boundingsphere instead, and place your camera that distance away.
