 +
 +This node exposes the automatic size as computed by LightWave 3D for the current node graph.
 +
 +From observation, we expect this to be the un-deformed size of the base mesh or the current surface on the base mesh (depending on the context of the node graph).
 +
 +When the node is added for the first time, it will automatically get the current automatic size.
 +
 +===== Controls =====
 +
 +==== Padding ====
 +
 +The padding is will be added to the automatic size.
 +
 +==== Get Automatic Size ====
 +
 +Clicking this button will get the current automatic size as computed by LightWave 3D.
 +
 +This may be required if the size of the base mesh changed.
 +
 +==== Centre Position (ready only) ====
 +
 +The centre of the automatic size. This value is read only.
 +
 +==== Size (ready only) ====
 +
 +The automatic size returned by LightWave 3D and modified by the padding. This value is read only.
 +
 +==== Minimum Bound (ready only) ====
 +
 +The smallest coordinates of the bounding box defined by the automatic size. This value is read only.
 +
 +==== Maximum Bound (ready only) ====
 +
 +The largest coordinates of the bounding box defined by the automatic size. This value is read only.
 +
 +===== Connections =====

 +==== Inputs ====
 +=== Padding ===
 +
 +A vector where the X,Y and Z components will be used to pad the computed size.
 +
 +==== Outputs ====
 +=== Padding ===
 +
 +The padding as defined via the input or the GUI.
 +
 +=== Position ===
 +
 +The centre of the automatic size.
 +=== Size ===
 +The automatic size returned by LightWave 3D and modified by the padding.
 +=== Minimum ===
 +The smallest coordinates of the bounding box defined by the automatic size.
 +=== Maximum ===
 +The largest coordinates of the bounding box defined by the automatic size.
