Bound surface node

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

See also: Box, Lattice, Sphere

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.

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.
