You can rotate a model to have its longest dimension along the x axis and then determine that dimension size using: select all rotate selected best boundbox {selected} show boundbox print "smallest dimension is " + getProperty("boundboxInfo.vector").z + " Angstroms" print "largest dimension is " +

Christian, I believe that in VRML format everything is assumed to be in some units (meters?) by the printing software. I'm not sure about X3D, but it's probably the same. So I'd say yes, there will be a relation betwen angstroms in the model and the printed size. We discussed the problem time a
