Hey everyone,

again I don’t know how to get a certain value out of a selected item.  
For example I have this item:

```
Line ('Line1') {
    width: 1270, height: 2
    global X,Y: 2475.5, 165.5
    parent: Artboard ('Web 1920 – 2')
    stroke: ff707070

```

I need the width (and height), but with **item.width** I get nothing out of it.  
(For Recangle this works…)

Hope you can help me - Thanks! =)  
Jojo

`width` and `height` are part of the “bounds” properties (`localBounds`, `boundsInParent`, etc.).

Therefore, depending on which of those you need, you’ll be able to access it with either

```auto
node.localBounds.width
node.localBounds.height
node.boundsInParent.width
[...]

```
