Unfortunately, there's a manual-bounding problem in POV-Ray v3.6 (the one that
the OP's using) whereby manually-added bounding shapes are automatically removed
(from *some* objects) even when they shouldn't be; i.e., Remove_Bounds (in the
INI file) seems to always be 'ON' in such cases, even when turned off. It's
discussed in an older thread...

AFAIK, this behavior has been corrected in one of the 3.7 betas.
