+
+Bounding box
+============
+
+The **Bounding box** feature displays the bounding box of sub-elements of a geometrical object (shape).
+
+The property panel displays the coordinates of inferior (**Min**) and superior (**Max**) points.
+the resulting bounding box can be created via a dedicated check-box **Create Box**. If this last is checked corresponding result and feature would be created.
+
+If the check-box **Create Box** isn't checked, **Apply** button does not generate any result and has the same effect as **Cancel** for this feature.
+
+To display the bounding box in the active part:
+
+#. select in the Main Menu *Inspection - > Bounding box* item or
+#. click |boundingBox.icon| **Bounding box** button in the toolbar
+
+Coordinates of the two points (inferior and superior) of the bounding box can be displayed for a selected object in the property panel :
+
+.. figure:: images/boundingBoxPropertyPanel.png
+ :align: center
+
+ Bounding Box
+
+
+Input fields:
+
+- **Object** contains object selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser.
+- **Create box** check-box allow the creation of the bounding box (result and feature).
+
+Note, the coordinates of two points displayed can be selected.
+
+**TUI Command**:
+
+.. py:function:: model.getBoundingBox(Part_doc, shape)
+
+ :param part: The current part object.
+ :param object: A shape in format *model.selection("Type", shape)*.
+ :return: Created bounding box.
+
+Result
+""""""
+
+Result of **Bounding box** where **Create box** is checked.
+
+.. figure:: images/BoundinBoxResult.png
+ :align: center
+
+ Object selected
+
+**See Also** a sample TUI Script of :ref:`tui_create_Bounding_Box` operation.
