-  # The {#bounds} method is used to retrieve the {Geom::BoundingBox} bounding a
-  # {Sketchup::Drawingelement}.
-  #
-  # For a {Sketchup::Edge}, {Sketchup::ComponentInstance} and most other
-  # {Sketchup::Drawingelement}s, the boundingbox follows the coordinate system
-  # the drawing element is placed in.
-  # For {Sketchup::ComponentDefinition}, the box bounds the contents of the
-  # component and follows the component's own internal coordinate system.
-  #
-  # @example
-  #   depth = 100
-  #   width = 100
-  #   model = Sketchup.active_model

-  #   face = entities.add_face pts
-  #   # Remember, anything that can be displayed, such as a face, is also
