Default Size Calculation

Is there an easy way to calculate the size of a group of objects? I import the shape in it's original form and I need to size it to a 1,1,1 box then recall it's original size again outside of AC3D. I am currently counting how many 1 unit boxes there are in each dimension. Please help

Default Re: Size Calculation

If you're using AC3D version 6, select all of your objects and their dimensions are shown in (W)idth, (H)eight, and (D)epth numbers at the top-right of the screen.

In previous versions, I believe this info is at the top-left rather than the top-right.

Or, hit the ">" button next to the "Size to" area on the left side of the screen, and the size will be recorded in the text boxes there that you can copy out.

If you have multiple objects selected, it will be the total distance (including empty space.
