How to get imported model properties

[Luca Bilotta]

Hi guys,
I'm looking for get heigth/width/length properties for any model imported
from 3DSMAX.
I saw that i can read this properties from model resource for box and other
primitives but how can do this for imported models?
thanks

Store that data into the user defined properties (right click on model

..userData property od the node.

I can´t recall the precise syntax right now but that was discussed
before here and it should be googable.

While this is true for primitives, it´s not possible for #fromFile
models. You´d have to apply the #meshDeform modifier and some math to
find out the distance between the vertices of the extremes.
