Simple question really. Why is the selection box way larger than the edges of my model, and how do I fix it?

Thanks

The prop appears to be rotated, so of course the box is larger than usual (it's always axis-aligned and surrounds the rotated bounding box). It'll shrink back to the bounding box size if the model is rotated to axis-aligned.

Basically: expected behaviour, not a problem.

oh damn, I'm dumb. thanks. I even knew rotating made them larger than normal ><
