This command allows you to define the frame used to orient the enclosing block. If this option is unchecked, then the enclosing block is oriented according to the global bulk of the selected elements.

 

Enclosing block with orientation frame.

Enclosing block without orientation frame.

The block is created according to the global bulk of the selected elements to have a block closest to the minimum.

 

 

You have the possibility of adding margins on each side of the enclosing block.

If you check the Single margin check box, then the value provided is applied to all the faces.

 

 

Although no orientation frame the enclosing block is created to the nearest minimum, it is not possible to guarantee that this block is the smallest possible.
