model size for BOM, is there a way to.....

One of most common mistakes happen when ordering steel for molds....getting the size wrong, too much is a non issue, too little is an oh ****.

 

so what i want is a X,Y,Z max measurement of the model and then have the ability to get that value into my BOM automatically, then we'd never order the wrong size steel ever again. I've been asking for this for quite some time and i'm wondering why this hasn't been addressed since.......forever.

 

I once went to a seminar (this was back on release 18 mind you) and asked this question then, The event staff couldn't wrap their heads around why i would even need to know the actual size of a piece of steel......I left after that. LOL.

 

This should be something that's a no brainier in my opinion but haven't found anything here actually addressing this as i describe it.

 

chime in if you ave an idea on how to do it.......the bounding box from model size provides useless information IMHO and SHOULD be where this information exists.
