## Node Properties

### Matrix Mode

Parameter ID: `GV_BOX_MODE`

Positioning can take place using either of the following two coordinate systems.

Global

The world coordinate system.

Local

The coordinate system as defined by the next highest object in the hierarchy.

### Use Deformed Points

Parameter ID: `GV_BOX_USE_DEFORMED`

If an object is deformed using a [deformer](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/5460.html.md) its bounding box will, of course, also change shape. Activate this option if this new bounding box should be calculated.

> **Tip:** Attention!This will only work if the corresponding XPresso tag's [priority](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/TEXTAG-OBASELIST.html.md) is set to **Generators**.
