      Is it possible to create a plugin that would add the bounding box dimensions to a component's description field? The ideal would be to have this as a native function that adds the dimensions when the component is created and modifies it when the component gets modified but I expect that might never come. Perhaps this plugin could iterate through the component definitions in the model and add the text. If the plugin was run again later, it would overwrite any existing dimensions.

      Maybe it would offer a window that prompts the user to select the bits of information they'd like included in the description. Dimensions, Materials, maybe even information from a TXT file?

      Just thinking...
