Getting width of 2d object in unity 3d

Question

I\'m using the new 2d tools in Unity3d, and I have a game object with a 2d polygonal collider attached to it. I just want to understand how to get the width of this object! Why

Answer 1

According to this post, looks like 2D colliders indeed should have the missing bounds variable, and it will be made available in a future release.

So looks like for now you'll have to make do with a workaround. One could be to add a Sprite Renderer component to your GameObject, add a dummy image to it and set it disabled so it's never visible. Then you can use gameObject.renderer.bounds to get the sprite bounds.
