Finding The Body Bounding Cylinder Using VBA

I have a cylindrical part. I need to find the measurements surrounding it. I will create an order measurement by adding a 5mm margin. When I run the macro on a square prism or cylindrical part, it will give the widest measurement that encompasses the part. I found something similar on a website, but it wasn't in VBA. How can I do this with VBA?

I can handle prism shapes. For instance, it finds the measurements 47 x 12 x 480 and gives me an order measurement of 50 x 15 x 485 mm. How can I create an order measurement for parts that will be ordered as shafts? (I don't want it to draw. Just Debug.Print is enough.)
