I attached the macros I created based on your code. However, it still 
requires some labor on the user's part, since the camera could be 
located anywhere, and not necessarily closest to the minimum extent or 
farthest from the maximum extent, etc. There needs to be some way to 
automatically determine which of the bounding box's 8 corners is the 
closest and which is the farthest from the camera.
