I’m attempting to use information about a MeshInstance’s bounding box to place a camera near it using gdscript. The thing that’s throwing me off is that the values within the aabb don’t seem to change even as I translate, rescale, or rotate the MeshInstance.

Am I misunderstanding the utility of a aabb? Or is this a bug?

How are you getting the bounding box info? Have you tried get_transformed_aabb()?

Oh no! I wasn’t looking at that and that’s pretty much exactly what I need.
