Hi Michael,
You can construct a BoundingBox object from a BoundingSphere. One of the
BoundingBox constructors takes a Bounds object where you can pass in the
BoundingSphere.
If you want to implement a method, it would look like
BoundingBox getBoxBounds()
{
return new BoundingBox( getBounds());
}
Though you may not like to do a new everytime, especially if you are calling
it lots of times.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Rajesh Gupta

thanx for the info rajesh...
do You know how i could get a boundingbox in return for my getBoundsMethod?
i
don´t want a
cube as Bounding Object for every scenegraph object....
the problem is, that i can´t override the final getBounds() method....
poohh... what do You think?
