Hi all,
I sometimes come across this word "AABB" here. What does it mean?
Thanks in advance.

AABB is an
Axis-Align Bounding Box.
It's a box that will rotate to fit your mesh as closely as possible.
For a better description [along with a use], check out
this site.
Hope that helps.
(By the way, you accidentaly double-posted.)

it doesn't rotate. it's axis aligned (to the world axes).

does this mean the aabbox of an object will scale with rotaion of a non-square node to fit the node inside it?
