I've created an extruded text with the geometry nodes and tried to use the bounding box caluclations to center a cube. For some reason this isn't working. The centering works fine if I use a another cube instead of the text. Any ideas?

I also tried to use just one letter, but this is also not working: just one letter

You need to use a Realize Instances Node before the Bounding box to get the bounding box for the entire text. Here's my tree:

    $\begingroup$ Realize Instances works great, but I can't see why you would subtract the minimum from the maximum. Let's say: xmin=-10 and xmax=20 then the center would be at 5. Adding and dividing results to (xmin+xmax)/2=5, but subtracting to (xmin-xmax)/2=-15. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ You're right. It should be add not subtract. Fixing my answer now. $\endgroup$
