Hi Michael,
I just did a few tests. It is inded different than bounding box. The operatation should produce a cylinder which just fits the largest points of an object, no mater it's shape or how it's rotated. The operation I'm familiar with has an option to set an X, Y or Z as the calculation axis for any given object. Maybe this is a mass calc we dont have yet?

Hi Burr,

So yeah that's not at all easy to compute, it's not really related to the bounding box, but an entirely separate calculation.

Yeah I guess something like a "projected centroid" type thing, I took a quick look around and I do not see any functionality that seems to resemble that in Solids++ so that would likely be a significant project to try and implement that, sorry.
