thumb|none|Face numbers The faces of the bounding box are ordered according to the following table:

Face Position
0 XY plane, Z=-1
1 YZ plane, X=-1
2 XZ plane, Y=-1
3 XZ plane, Y=1
4 YZ plane, X=1
5 XY plane, Z=1

Each face, when added to the opposite face on the cube, adds up to 5 (so each YZ face = 1 + 4 = 5).
