In using the following code the the results on some of the axis are inaccurate, as much as .024". Is there any way to control the accuracy and/or format (number of decimal places)?

Code:
    ufs.Modl.AskBoundingBox(solid1.Tag,bbox)  
    msgbox ("min X: " & bbox(0) & " max X: " & bbox(3) & vbcrlf _  
        & "min Y: " & bbox(1) & " max Y: " & bbox(4) & vbcrlf _  
        & "min Z: " & bbox(2) &  " max Z: " & bbox(5) & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & _  
        "X dim: " & bbox(3) - bbox(0) & vbcrlf & _  
        "Y dim: " & bbox(4) - bbox(1) & vbcrlf & _  
        "Z dim: " & bbox(5) - bbox(2), vbokonly)

Found it, ran across ufs.Modl.AskBoundingBoxExact and it reports more accurately.

Now this is curious.

lw.WriteLine("bar = " & format("%0.4f",1))

writes "bar = 1", not "bar = 1.0000"

Still searching.

Murphy's law, find it just after posting.

lw.WriteLine("bar = " & 1.ToString("F4"))
