length

Syntax

    member(whichCastmember).modelResource(whichModelResource).length
    vectorReference.length

Description

3D `#box` model resource, `#plane` model resource, and vector property; indicates the length in world units of the box or plane.

The length of a box is measured along its Z axis. The default length of a box is 50.

The length of a plane is measured along its Y axis. The default length of a plane is 1.

The length of a vector is its distance in world units from `vector(0, 0, 0)`. This is the same as the magnitude of the vector.

Example

This statement sets the variable `myBoxLength` to the length of the model resource named GiftBox.

    myBoxLength = member("3D World").modelResource("GiftBox").length
