Then define our function: def boundingBox():Ĭreate a couple of objects and store the names of each: # Create a couple of objects This is useful if you were creating a tool which handles alignment, scale or transforms based on surrounding objects.Īs always, as we will be using the Maya commands library we need to import it, we’ll also use the pretty print module to display our bounding box values in a readable way.
