    Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
imported body is a list of facets. You have access to its data, so you can do whatever you want. For example to get the min and max x coordinate:
###
minX = 1e99, maxX = -1e99
for facet in facets:
   vs = [facet.state.pos + facet.state.ori * v for v in facet.shape.vertices] # vertices in global coord system
   minX = min(minX,min(v[0] for v in vs))
   maxX = max(maxX,max(v[0] for v in vs))
###

you can of course compute min and max y and z coordinates the same way
or do more sophisticated analysis (smallest enclosing ellipsoid for
instance).

cheers
Jan
