> ! _Select _Pause _Setredrawoff
> _BoundingBox _World _Enter 
> _Selnone _Sellast
> _OffsetSrf _Solid _Pause
> _Delete _Sellast
> _BoundingBox _World _Enter
> _Delete _Setredrawon


===== No Mesh Bounding Box=====
Creates a bounding box that doesn't require a mesh generation.

> ! _Select _Pause
> _NoEcho
> _Setredrawoff
> _Group _Enter -_SetGroupName BBObjects _Enter
> _ClosestPt 100000000,0,0

===== Set Custom Render Mesh Values=====
Sets your custom render mesh values without having to go into Doc Properties.  Suggestion: create several with different settings.

> ! -_DocumentProperties
> _Mesh  _Custom
> _MaxAngle=0  _AspectRatio=0 
> _MinEdgeLength=0  _MaxEdgeLength=0 
> _MaxEdgeSrf=0.01  _GridQuads=16
> _Refine=Yes  _JaggedSeams=No 
> _SimplePlanes=No _Enter _Enter


=====Circular Plane Center, Radius=====
> ! _Circle _pause _pause
> _sellast _PlanarSrf _delete
