This add-on allows you to select a body (BRep) to be converted to a component with two additional bodies. The first is the smallest bounding box that will contain the selected body. The second is a bounding box that searches for a "stock" size the part will fit into by increments of 1/8".

The add-on is parametric; so if the selected stock size is not feasible then changing the height, length, or depth is just a matter of changing the respective parameter. Additionally the position of the part relative to the stock body is controlled by parameters.

The stock body can be used in as the stock body in the CAM workspace.
