# bounds

> The bounding volume of the mesh that contain all vertices of the mesh.

## Definition

* **Type:** Property
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

```csharp
public Bounds bounds { get; set; }
```

### Remarks

This is the axis-aligned bounding box of the mesh in its own space, so the bounds don't change if you change the Transform position, rotation or scale. The [Renderer.bounds](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/renderer/bounds.md) property is similar but returns the bounds in world space.

### Examples

```csharp
// Generates planar UV coordinates independent of mesh size
// by scaling vertices by the bounding box size

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        Mesh mesh = GetComponent<MeshFilter>().mesh;
        Vector3[] vertices = mesh.vertices;
        Vector2[] uvs = new Vector2[vertices.Length];
        Bounds bounds = mesh.bounds;
        int i = 0;
        while (i < uvs.Length)
        {
            uvs[i] = new Vector2(vertices[i].x / bounds.size.x, vertices[i].z / bounds.size.x);
            i++;
        }
        mesh.uv = uvs;
    }
}
```
