In one project, we are using a combination of

var data = ModelDoc2::CreateBoundingBox
and ModelDoc2::CreateRefPlanesAroundBoundingBox(double[] data)

The CreateBoundingBox method returns the width, thickness length of the model in meters. These dimensions are pure distances and do not take into account that the assembly (or part) may or may not be centered at 0,0,0. We observed several edges cases when the planes overlap with the model.

Solution:
Refactor the method CreateRefPlanesAroundBoundingBox to get extreme points of all component bodies and create its planes accordingly.

Macro that uses extreme points on bodies from a part: https://www.codestack.net/solidworks-api/geometry/precise-bounding-box/ - It needs to be extended to use bodies from component.

Create new zoom to fit method that allows the user to maximize window.

SOLIDWORKSManager::GetNewInstance("/r", SOLIDWORKSInstanceManager.Year_e.Year2021,200)

launches SOLIDWORKS and hangs indefinitely.
