Opens the Convert Geometry to Bounding Box Options window.

Name: Specifies the name of the new bounding box object. If you do not specify a name, the bounding box object inherits the name of the original object.
Name suffix: Specifies the name appended to the new bound box object. By default, a _BBox suffix is added to the bounding box Name.

Represent hierarchy as

One bounding box: Creates a single instance of a bounding box that represents all objects in the hierarchy.
One bounding box per shape: Creates a bounding box for each object in the grouped object hierarchy.
Combine resulting bounding boxes: When One bounding box per shape is on, select this to automatically apply Mesh > Combine to the resulting bounding boxes.

Color: Click the Color swatch or use the slider control to specify the shading color of the bounding box.
Keep original: When on, the original object or hierarchy remains in the scene after the conversion to a bounding box. When off, the original object or hierarchy is deleted and only the converted bounding box remains in the scene.
