 ### SFVec3f [ ] **bboxCenter** 0 0 0 <small>(-∞,∞)</small>
 
-Bounding box center: optional hint for position offset from origin of local coordinate system.
+Bounding box center accompanies bboxSize and provides an optional hint for bounding box position offset from origin of local coordinate system.
+
+#### Hints
+
+- Precomputation and inclusion of bounding box information can speed up the initialization of large detailed models, with a corresponding cost of increased file size.

-Input field addGeometry.

-Input/Output field geometry.
+The children form a closed loop with first point of first child repeated as last point of last child, and the last point of a segment repeated as first point of the consecutive one.
 
-### SFFloat [in, out] **tessellationScale** 1 <small>(0,∞)</small>
+#### Hints
+
+- Children nodes are listed in consecutive order according to topology of the contour.
+- Utilizing USE nodes for *geometry* can ensure that rendered *geometry* occurs elsewhere in the model.
+
+#### Warnings
+
+- *geometry* represented in children of this node shall not be directly rendered. It is an informational node only.
+- Surfaces not represented elsewhere in transformation hierarchy shall not be rendered.
+
+## Advisories
+
+### Hint
+
+- USE nodes for geometry ensure renderable versions occur elsewhere in the model. The bounds information is provided for optimization purposes only. A browser may choose to use this information about when to apply trimming or smooth tessellation between patches based on the bounds information.
+
+### Warnings
 
-Scale for surface tesselation in children NurbsSurface nodes.
+- Geometry represented in children of this node shall not be directly rendered. It is an informational node only.
+- Surfaces not represented elsewhere in transformation hierarchy shall not be rendered.
