Obtaining the size of Workspace?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

A bit of a weird question here, but also highly curious. Is there any API for obtaining the size (Vector3) of Workspace?

#2

Workspace doesn’t have a size?

What are you trying to do exactly?

#3

Literally just get the size/dimension of the world automatically, no real reason behind it other then just out of curiosity. I know Terrian has some API for getting its size… just wondered if there’s any for workspace / any user-made methods for it.

#4

No, not really. Workspace is infinite, the only restriction being what floating point values can take before everything becomes an unintelligible mess.

Do you mean, rather, the total extents of a model that contains every part within the workspace?
To test that, you could group everything under one model, then use the :GetExtentsSize() function of that model.

I thought that API had been deprecated?

Nothing about deprecation here

And since Workspace is a Model, you can call that method directly on it, e.g.

local p = Instance.new("Part")
p.Position = Vector3.new(10000000, 2304283423, -234234)
p.Parent = workspace

print(workspace:GetExtentsSize())
--> 10001024, 2.30428339e+09, 235257
