You can include hidden bodies and surfaces in the bounding box. You can also
hide, show, suppress, and unsuppress a bounding box from a shortcut menu.
Four bounding box properties are available in the Configuration
Specific tab of the Summary Information dialog
box. The dimensions in these properties can help you determine the space required to

tables.
Calculating a bounding box for a part with many faces can be time consuming.
If a part has many faces, you should create the bounding box after you finish
modeling the part.
Previously, you could only create a bounding box for a cut list item in
weldments.
