First off sorry if this is to wrong section.

I am currently working on a way to to take the world space coords of a model and turn them in to screen space coords. Now I am still new to XNA and what i found as I can use the viewport.project method to convert the world space to screen space. I have set this all up but every time i get can the same numbers which are the center on the window. It makes no difference what the world space values are.

Now i am think I have made a mistake with the matrices and they are not calculating correctly but I have no idea any more and after 24 hours of tiring to fix this it is now killing me.

 Console.WriteLine("X: " + min.X + "  :" + max.X);
 Console.WriteLine("Y: " + min.Y + "  :" + max.Y);

 Min2D = graphics.GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Project(min, project, view, world);
 Max2D = graphics.GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Project(max, project, view, world);

//test project
 Vector3 temp3 = graphics.GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Project(new Vector3(0, 0, 0), project, view, world);

 Console.WriteLine("X: " + Min2D.X + "  :" + Max2D.X);
 Console.WriteLine("Y: " + Min2D.Y + "  :" + Max2D.Y);

 flames = new BoundingBox(Min2D, Max2D);

This is the where I am projecting the values. The matrices are past in from the main Initialize.

private Matrix world = Matrix.CreateTranslation(new Vector3(0, 0, 0));
private Matrix view = Matrix.CreateLookAt(new Vector3(0, 0, 10), new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Vector3.UnitY);
private Matrix projection = Matrix.CreatePerspectiveFieldOfView(MathHelper.ToRadians(45), 800f / 480f, 1f, 100f);

This is the creation of them. I have check over them and I cant see what is wrong.

If anyone can help me with this I will be in your debt. For clarity I am using XNA with monogame and the values I am passing into project are

minX = -3 maxX = 3

minY = -3 maxY = 3

You are correct, it is not giving me the same numbers and if I use the numbers passed from the model I also get different answer so it looks like there is a issues with my code elsewhere.

Ok so I have not had a lot of time to work on my project but I spent a good part of today looking into this error i have.

So I took L.Spiro and changed the numbers around. After checking every number over and over I finally worked out that the coords that i am getting from project are all wrong because somewhere it is adding 24.5 to them all. I am currently searching through my code to work out why and at what point that it being added but so far the only point i can see is from the viewport.project.

Has anyone else had this problem before?

OK first off thank you for all the help.

So I have fixed the problem and here is what was wrong. The main reason I wanted to get the screen coords was to set up collision for a 3D object with 2D sprites. So mistake number one was my view matrix, this was not set to the correct view port size. The biggest mistake was passing the z value of my shape in. This was calculating the coords with that as well and returning off values.
