Reports a bounding box of the geometry that this server submits for drawing.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.DirectContext3D
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 24.0.0.0 (24.0.0.0)
Since:  2018

Syntax

C#
Outline GetBoundingBox(
	View dBView
)
Visual Basic
Function GetBoundingBox ( _
	dBView As View _
) As Outline
Visual C++
Outline^ GetBoundingBox(
	View^ dBView
)

Parameters

dBView
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBView
The view where rendering will occur. If this argument is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), a view-independent bounding box should be reported.

Return Value

The bounding box as an Outline.

Remarks

Revit uses the bounding box when navigating views, e.g., when a Zoom to Fit command is issued. The reported bounding box does not have to be tight. However, there may be unintended side-effects if the box is inconsistent with the submitted geometry.
