Helper object to graphically show the world-axis-aligned bounding box around an object. The actual bounding box is handled with [page:Box3], this is just a visual helper for debugging. It can be automatically resized with the [page:BoxHelper.update] method when the object it's created from is transformed. Note that the object must have a [page:BufferGeometry] for this to work, so it won't work with [page:Sprite Sprites].
const sphere = new THREE.SphereGeometry();
const object = new THREE.Mesh( sphere, new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial( 0xff0000 ) );
const box = new THREE.BoxHelper( object, 0xffff00 );
scene.add( box );

[page:Object3D object] -- (optional) the object3D to show the world-axis-aligned boundingbox.
[page:Color color] -- (optional) hexadecimal value that defines the box's color. Default is 0xffff00.
Creates a new wireframe box that bounds the passed object. Internally this uses [page:Box3.setFromObject]
to calculate the dimensions. Note that this includes any children.
See the base [page:LineSegments] class for common properties.
See the base [page:LineSegments] class for common methods.
Updates the helper's geometry to match the dimensions of the object, including any children. See [page:Box3.setFromObject].
[page:Object3D object] - [page:Object3D] to create the helper of.
Updates the wireframe box for the passed object.
Frees the GPU-related resources allocated by this instance. Call this method whenever this instance is no longer used in your app.
