The model has 48 different versions for analysis, thus I want to automatize measurement of Volume and bounding box to measure porosity of the model.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>My model looks like that, as you can see its hard to create a solid box for each version (since the endpoints are not changing linear), and extract it or use &#8220;fill&#8221; function, since it has no caps or ends.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/attachments\/21759bb7-c159-40ba-9c54-aa3a014ed1e4\/b4670939-637c-485b-8863-aa3a015770df_capture.jpg?width=690&amp;upscale=false\" alt=\"model\"><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I can parametrize Volume property however Bounding Box doesn&#8217;t have an option like that.
