Does any documentation for unity dots physics besides the package manual exist?

I am trying to find a list of the properties of a collider from unity dots physics. I specificly need to find the bounds of a capsule collider. This has proved quite hard, because all the documentation i have is this, which just provide an general overview.

Is there any comprehensive list like the scripting api for ecs, or do i just have to try using whatever names seems most logical? If the latter is the case, do you know what the bounds of a capsule collider is called?

Mostly have to look through unit tests or the source to discover some of this. The physics debugging code has a lot of good stuff on introspecting collider data.

Here is a helper to get the Aabb of a collider.

public static unsafe bool TryGetAabbFromCollider(Collider* collider, float3 position, quaternion rotation, out Aabb aabb)
        {
            RigidTransform colliderTransform = new RigidTransform(rotation, position);

            switch (collider->Type)
            {
                case ColliderType.Box:
                    aabb = ((BoxCollider*)collider)->CalculateAabb(colliderTransform);
                    return true;
                case ColliderType.Triangle:
                case ColliderType.Quad:
                case ColliderType.Cylinder:
                case ColliderType.Convex:
                    aabb = ((ConvexCollider*)collider)->CalculateAabb(colliderTransform);
                    return true;
                case ColliderType.Sphere:
                    aabb = ((SphereCollider*)collider)->CalculateAabb(colliderTransform);
                    return true;
                case ColliderType.Capsule:
                    aabb = ((CapsuleCollider*)collider)->CalculateAabb(colliderTransform);
                    return true;
                case ColliderType.Mesh:
                    aabb = ((MeshCollider*)collider)->CalculateAabb(colliderTransform);
                    return true;
                case ColliderType.Terrain:
                    aabb = ((TerrainCollider*)collider)->CalculateAabb(colliderTransform);
                    return true;
            }

            aabb = default;
            return false;
        }

Thank you, you mentioned the source, where can i find that?

Under the Packages folder in your Project view.

Thanks a lot again.

In case anyone runs into to the same problem, ended up finding a scripting api like the one for ecs. Here it is: | Unity Physics | 0.5.1-preview.2

It doesn’t appear in google’s search results, but can be found by manually changing the url adress of the physics manual.
