MODEL_BOX switch: Displaying the model external dimensions

It can be useful to know what the external dimensions of your model are. One way to do this is to use a GRATICULE (see Graticule ), but this uses screen space and can't be transformed with the model. The MODEL_BOX option is an alternative: it draws a box that represents exactly the largest [x,y,z] external dimensions of your model, and adds tick marks. The figure below shows an example of this. This box rotates with the model, and can be viewed from any angle.
