• select the “Show Object Transitions” radio button
• put a minimal repeat count to 1

The viewport will show a box that bounds the selected object.

The object must be selected from the drop down list; if you don’t know the name associated with an object, you can use the Object Hierarchy panel, that shows the number of nodes in the environment, as seen in the previous section.

In the example, the object is named "wheel". If you select this object in the drop down list, the viewport will show the object with a bounding box:
