I link a plugin for grasshopper i was programming ... it approximates the minimum boundingbox. I hope this helps. You have to use 25 to 50 cycles to get a good result.

Hello Michael,

Sorry for being dense, once installed, where does the component live?

Thanks, Luis

EDIT: Prob for Rhino 5 correct?

Got it, this is going to be a super useful component! If I may make a suggestion, not sure the complexity, but it would be great to work with all geometry types! but already like this it is quite useful and fast. Thanks!

Michael,

I believe this component broke with the new release (0.8.0011):

An error occured during GHA assembly loading:
Path: C:\Users\luis\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries\Min_box.gha
Exception System.TypeLoadException:
Message: Could not load type 'System.Runtime.Versioning.TargetFrameworkAttribute' from assembly 'mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.

It's working at my end with 0.8.0013 and Rhino 5.0

Hi Michael,

Could you please recompile your Min_box.gha again with the newest rhinocommon and grasshopper.dll? It seems to be not working on 0.8.0066 with 20120124 version of Rhino 5.0.

Thanks!

-Jerome
