Is there a way to get outer points of selected polygons?

kbhow

Hi,

Is there any SKILL codes which able to get the outer points of selected objects?

I was trying to create a new function which may required to get the outer points of selected objects (polygon/rectangle/instances and etc). I want to get a list of points where i can use it to create a polygon which cover all selected objects.

Example, let say i have selected 10 polygons, and i want a function to return me a list of outer points of my selected object. Can someone help?

Thanks

    Hi How,

    I presume that you are asking for the actual points of the resultant combined shape, rather than the overall bounding box?  I think that the easiest way to get this would be to use something like dbLayerAnd on the input shapes to create a temporary shape, get the points from this shape and then delete it when you're done with it. It may be a little clunky, but it would be simpler than other methods that I can think of. 

    Hope this helps,

    Lawrence.
