# 3D Bounding Box

The 3D Bounding Box feature allows you to create 3D bounding boxes in medical assets.

## Creating a 3D Bounding Box

In the medical labeling editor, click on a "Bounding Box"-type class in the "Tools" section on the left.

Click and drag with the left mouse button on the asset wherever you would like to create the bounding box.

Release the left mouse button to finalize two dimensions of the bounding box:

A 3D bounding box will be created with the two dimensions you specified, and the other dimension being, initially, 1px:

To edit the 3D bounding box's dimensions, click and drag on the editing points on the bounding box, in any view.

## Extending a 3D Bounding Box to Another Slice

You can extend an existing 3D bounding box to another slice while keeping its size and position in the current view.

Select the 3D bounding box, navigate to the slice where the bounding box should end, and press `V`. You may also click the *Snap BB Edges* button in the top toolbar while the bounding box is selected.

## Changing the class to which a bounding box belongs

Right-click anywhere on the 3D bounding box and click on the three dots.

Then, from the "Change Category" sub-menu, pick the class you'd like to change the 3DBB to. The 3D bounding box will be assigned to that class.

## Adding a Description / Name to a Bounding Box

You may add a manual text description or name to a bounding box by clicking on it and pressing "D" on your keyboard.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.imerit.net/labeling/labeling-editor-interface/medical-labeling-editor/3d-bounding-box.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
