So when I call getHierarchyBoundingVectors on a mesh in the same frame that it loaded I end up getting infinities for the vectors. Is there a way to force the vectors to be calculated before requesting them?

I tried that for sure, but did not do it. Also noticed that it does it in that method itself. So it must be something else. Its probably a timing issue on our end.
