title: Forge Viewer API: Bounding box for a specific element
body: <p>I am using the following method for determining the bounding box of a specific element:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MyViewer.select( [dbId]); var box = MyViewer.utilities.getBoundingBox();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works but I wonder if there is a direct function to do this (similar to how getBulkProperties work), especially when I am running through a large number of dbIds in a loop.</p>
  
  <p>I also figured out that I can do this by finding the list of fragments of the element and calculating bounding box of each to calculate element's bounding box. That is more work.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks
