Parameters:

  • Point1 (hwTriple) – The double values corresponding to each global x, y, and z coordinates of the box for corner1.

  • Point2 (hwTriple) – The double values corresponding to each global x, y, and z coordinates of the box for corner2.

  • Point3 (hwTriple) – The double values corresponding to each global x, y, and z coordinates of the box for corner3.

  • Point4 (hwTriple) – The double values corresponding to each global x, y, and z coordinates of the box for corner4.

  • Point5 (hwTriple) – The double values corresponding to each global x, y, and z coordinates of the box for corner5.

  • Point6 (hwTriple) – The double values corresponding to each global x, y, and z coordinates of the box for corner6.

  • Point7 (hwTriple) – The double values corresponding to each global x, y, and z coordinates of the box for corner7.

  • Point8 (hwTriple) – The double values corresponding to each global x, y, and z coordinates of the box for corner8.
