I forgot to mention in my earlier comment that in Poseray I generally 
start (in the Groups window) on a new model:

1- 'Weld vertices'
2- 'Remove orphan vertices'
3- 'Recalculate normals'

without changing 'Crease angle' or 'Tolerance'.

If stray vertices exist, the bounding box may thus be improved.

Then, I do the transforms I deem necessary for my subsequent use in 
POV-Ray. Poseray is very efficient for this although you may have to 
play a bit with the application before you get it right.
