Facsimile Simulation/Emulation Library

This is the next cell record to be processed after the cell header record; however, it is only present if cell flag bit 6 is set. It contains six fields that define a bounding box for the contents of the cell. A bounding box is the smallest box that can entirely contain the contents of the cell. By convention, the cell bounding box data is formatted as follows:

MinX<spc>MaxX<spc>MinY<spc>MaxY<spc>MinZ<spc>MaxZ<nl>

where MinX and MaxX are doubles specifying the minimum and maximum X-axis co-ordinates, respectively, MinY and MaxY are doubles containing the minimum and maximum Y-axis co-ordinates, respectively, MinZ and MaxZ are the doubles containing the minimum and maximum Z-axis co-ordinates, respectively, <spc> is a single space character and <nl> is the newline sequence.

Note that these co-ordinates are relative to the cell's origin and are measured along the cell's local X, Y & Z axes (refer to the Geometry Data section for more information).

If this record is not present, AutoMod determines the bounding box dimensions whilst reading the cell.

This feature was added to AutoMod in version 10.0 to support the OpenInventor scene graph library that AutoMod uses as its graphics engine.
