The default value is Guid.Empty. When an object is added to a model, the value is checked. If the value is Guid.Empty, a new Guid is created. If the value is not null but it is already used by another object in the model, a new Guid is created. If the value is not Guid.Empty and it is not used by another object in the model, then that value persists. When an object is updated, by a move for example, the value of ObjectId persists.

That mesh is valid geometry but does not yet reflect the provider, so a caller that measures it will see the object as it was beforehand. Test for the flag rather than trusting the first result.

- [TryGetGumballFrame](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.docobjects.rhinoobject/trygetgumballframe.md): If a Rhino object has been manipulated by Rhino's gumball, and the gumball is not in its default position, then the object's repositioned gumball frame is returned.
- [TryGetGumballFrameForCurrentAlignment](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.docobjects.rhinoobject/trygetgumballframeforcurrentalignment.md): Gets the gumball frame for this object under the current gumball alignment mode (Object / World / CPlane). For Object mode the frame always reflects the object's orientation (including any user relocation in that mode). For World and CPlane mode the frame is only returned when the user has manually repositioned the gumball for this object; if it has never been moved in that mode, the method returns false. Sub-object selections are not taken into account; this is a whole-object helper.
- [TryGetRenderPrimitiveBoundingBox](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.docobjects.rhinoobject/trygetrenderprimitiveboundingbox.md): (2 overloads, obsolete) Get the bounding box for the custom render meshes associated with this object.
