[V8i C#] Element.Range wrong for rotated cell elements

 

The range for a rotated cell seems to be wrong.

The magenta box is the returned one. The handles are from the "element selection" tool. The handles are correct, so the cell range is correct but

the returned value from "element.range" is not.

Any ideas what alternative could give me the correct result ?

    Otherwise they are pretty useless

    Usefullness, or its absence, depends on what you want to do with the element range. 

    The primary use of element range is in a spatial scan.  You can choose or reject an element by comparing its range with some set of coordinates.  That check is fast compared to getting the geometry of an element and performing computational geometric algebra.  The check is independent of how you might be seeing the element in one of eight rotated views.
