i already did it that way... but as i mentioned earlier... the returned BoundingBox has dimesions of width = height = depth it makes up the cube that fits exactly into the BoundingSphere... but some of my sceneobjects have dimension ratios like 1x5x2 .... that doesnīt look very nice, if You know what i mean... michy Rajesh Gupta wrote: > Hi Michael, > > You can construct a BoundingBox object from a BoundingSphere.
