You can use

     #declare MyObj = intersection { P1 P2 P3 }
     #declare V1 = min_extent(MyObj);
     #declare V2 = max_extent(MyObj);
     #declare Center = (V1+V2)/2;

and then use the vstr() function to convert those vectors to string; 
that would give you the dimensions and center of the object's /bounding 
box/. Note however that this is not necessarily the smallest box in 
which the object would fit.
