-====== Get Automatic Size (preliminary) ======
+====== Get Automatic Size ======
+{{ :tools:getautosizegui.png|}}
+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.
