Bound surface node

Creates an axis-aligned bounding box or sphere for the input geometry.

You can use the bounding box with the Lattice node to create a deformation cage for the input geometry.

Parameters

Group	Subset of geometry to bound.
Group Type	The type of elements referenced in the Group field.
Keep Original	Keep the input geometry.

Box tab

Overview	When this tab is selected, it will compute the bounding box.
Divisions	Number of divisions along xyz axes.
Enforcement Bars	Places diagonal crossbars in the divisions of the box.
Oriented Bounding Box	Orients the bound box to the axes of the input geometry instead of the world axes. If groups are used, this option only accepts primitive groups. Note that this option only works on polygons.

Sphere tab

Overview	When this tab is selected, it will compute the bounding sphere.
Orientation	Poles of sphere align with orientation axis.
Accurate Bounds	Use a more accurate (but slower) bounding sphere calculation.

Lower, Upper Padding

The computed bounding box or sphere is enlarged by these padding values. Note that in the case of spheres, non-uniform padding values will not guarantee the resulting sphere still contains the input geometry.
