Try using this function:

;Method can be 1, 2, or 3. Experiment on which works best
Function MeshRadius#(mesh, method = 1)
	w# = MeshWidth(mesh) / 2
	h# = MeshHeight(mesh) / 2
	d# = MeshDepth(mesh) / 2
	If method = 1 Then rad# = (w+h+d)/3.0
	If method = 2 Then
		rad# = w
		If h > rad Then rad = h
		If d > rad Then rad = d
	End If
	If method = 3 Then rad# = Sqr(w*w + h*h + d*d)
	Return rad#
End Function
