Is it possible to set the size of a vizshape.addBox() in a different coordinate sys?

[The SundanceKid]

I want to do something like

box = vizshape.addBox(size=[foo,foo,foo], mode=viz.ABS_GLOBAL)

How can I set the size of a box with respect to viz.ABS_GLOBAL?
If I can't do this, how can I convert viz.ABS_GLOBAL widths, heights,
and depths into vizshape.addBox()'s size coordinate system?

Do you want to set the size of the box relative to the larger scene model? I'm not sure what you mean by viz.ABS_GLOBAL widths, heights, and depths.
