You may have accidentally selected the mesh while enveloping, giving the mesh a certain property (bounding volumes I believe). To check if you did just select nothing and look at the mesh in wireframe, if its colored then the property has been applied. To remove that property re-import the mesh (or undo the envelope) and re-envelope making sure you do not select the mesh.

I cant get it to work. Everytime i envelope the model the bounding volumes seem to get automaticly applied. I do it like this:


Select Mesh -> Set Envelope -> Select Nulls -> Press the right mouse button.

I did it with the explorer to ensure that the mesh is not going to get selected twice. (So i press select envelope and then i select the Null.)

I really dont know why the Bounding Volumes get applied :/

Or let me ask in an other way. If you just create a null and a cube and then envelope the cube to the null. Has your null then a folder named Bounding Volumes?
like this Image

EDIT: I Imported some models and they have the Bounding volumes too :/
So i dont think anymore that the Bounding Volumes are the Problem
