Problem - Mesh outside of the bounding box

[Tsch3ch]

Hello everyone,

at first i'd like to say sorry, if my topic doesn't belong in here or if i accidently break a forum rule. I am currently writing my diploma thesis, which is mainly about converting plain text into a 3D scene. And with the help of Bullet (I am using the JAVA port), i just wanted to give my scene a little optical kick .
However, right now I'm facing the problem that i can't get my meshes to lie within my bounding boxes. I added two pictures, so that you can get an idea, what my issue is all about.
As you can see, it is not a dimension problem of my bounding boxes since they fit perfectly in size. But I just can't get my bounding boxes to surround my meshes correctly.
So I just wanted to ask if anyone of you has a little tip for me, what might be the problem.

Thank you in anticipation!

You need to apply an offset to the collision shapes. The collision shapes are created relative to the centre of mass of the mesh, not the origin of the mesh.

Aaaah, thank you very much, that solved my problem! And sorry for the late answer, I've been quite busy the last few days...

Again, thank you very much!
