Hey there, it's me again.

I created a "BoundedBlock" with toolingBoxBuilder in an assembly. Now I need to get the dimension of the bounded block. The toolingBoxBuilder class owns the function .XValue, etc. for x,y,z as Expression. I tried in a thousand ways to get the value of the Expression, but I can't get it. It says "Expression10" or Expression 49215 etc.. And I absolutely don't know why. I know it's of the Type "Number", but that's all I could get.

Any other suggestions to get the dimensions easily? The perfect solution would be to describe the quader with vectors of the 3 directions and lengths.

Greetings,
Yvi
 
The "BoundedBlock" type doesn't report its size through expressions. The only expressions available for that type are the offsets that you specified. The X,Y, and Z expressions are used when you create a generic block of a given size.
