Hi Mike,
I have now tried calling updateImplicitBounds() but it returns false
Is that indicating some underlying issue elsewhere?
```
Status changed: Qt3DRender::QSceneLoader::Loading
Status changed: Qt3DRender::QSceneLoader::Ready
Entity: Qt3DCore::QEntity(0x7ffaac004660, name = untitled.obj) Components:
QList(Qt3DCore::QTransform(0x7ffaac04c590))
BoundingVolume: "untitled.obj"
Entity: Qt3DCore::QEntity(0x7ffaac019220, name = Suzanne) Components:
QList(Qt3DExtras::QPhongMaterial(0x7ffaac01bf30, name = DefaultMaterial),
Qt3DRender::QGeometryRenderer(0x7ffaac00c4d0),
Qt3DCore::QTransform(0x7ffaac045800))
BoundingVolume: "Suzanne"
gr is Valid
updateImplicitBounds returns FALSE
```
```
void SceneWalker::walkEntity(Qt3DCore::QEntity *e, int depth)
{
Qt3DCore::QNodeVector nodes = e->childNodes();
for (int i = 0; i < nodes.count(); ++i) {
Qt3DCore::QNode *node = nodes[i];
Qt3DCore::QEntity *entity = qobject_cast<Qt3DCore::QEntity *>(node);
if (entity) {
QString indent;
indent.fill(' ', depth * 2);
qDebug().noquote() << indent << "Entity:" << entity <<
"Components:" << entity->components();
{
// Question about BoundingVolume
qDebug() << "BoundingVolume: " << entity->objectName();
const QList<Qt3DRender::QGeometryRenderer *>
myQGeometryRenderer =
entity->componentsOfType<Qt3DRender::QGeometryRenderer>();
if (!myQGeometryRenderer.isEmpty())
{
Qt3DRender::QGeometryRenderer *gr = myQGeometryRenderer[0];
if (gr){
qDebug() << "gr is Valid";
if (gr->updateImplicitBounds()){
QVector3D minPoint = gr->implicitMinPoint();
QVector3D maxPoint = gr->implicitMaxPoint();
qDebug() << "minPoint: " << minPoint;
qDebug() << "maxPoint: " << maxPoint;
}
else
qDebug() << "updateImplicitBounds returns FALSE";
}
}
}
walkEntity(entity, depth + 1);
}
}
}
```
