	<brief_description>
		A 3D axis-aligned bounding box.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		The [AABB] built-in [Variant] type represents an axis-aligned bounding box in a 3D space. It is defined by its [member position] and [member size], which are [Vector3]. It is frequently used for fast overlap tests (see [method intersects]). Although [AABB] itself is axis-aligned, it can be combined with [Transform3D] to represent a rotated or skewed bounding box.
		It uses floating-point coordinates. The 2D counterpart to [AABB] is [Rect2]. There is no version of [AABB] that uses integer coordinates.
		[b]Note:[/b] Negative values for [member size] are not supported. With negative size, most [AABB] methods do not work correctly. Use [method abs] to get an equivalent [AABB] with a non-negative size.
		[b]Note:[/b] In a boolean context, a [AABB] evaluates to [code]false[/code] if both [member position] and [member size] are zero (equal to [constant Vector3.ZERO]). Otherwise, it always evaluates to [code]true[/code].

	<members>
		<member name="end" type="Vector3" setter="" getter="" default="Vector3(0, 0, 0)">
			The ending point. This is usually the corner on the top-right and back of the bounding box, and is equivalent to [code]position + size[/code]. Setting this point affects the [member size].
		</member>
		<member name="position" type="Vector3" setter="" getter="" default="Vector3(0, 0, 0)">
			The origin point. This is usually the corner on the bottom-left and forward of the bounding box.
		</member>
		<member name="size" type="Vector3" setter="" getter="" default="Vector3(0, 0, 0)">
			The bounding box's width, height, and depth starting from [member position]. Setting this value also affects the [member end] point.
			[b]Note:[/b] It's recommended setting the width, height, and depth to non-negative values. This is because most methods in Godot assume that the [member position] is the bottom-left-forward corner, and the [member end] is the top-right-back corner. To get an equivalent bounding box with non-negative size, use [method abs].

			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if the [member position] or [member size] of both bounding boxes are not equal.

			<description>
				Inversely transforms (multiplies) the [AABB] by the given [Transform3D] transformation matrix, under the assumption that the transformation basis is orthonormal (i.e. rotation/reflection is fine, scaling/skew is not).
				[code]aabb * transform[/code] is equivalent to [code]transform.inverse() * aabb[/code]. See [method Transform3D.inverse].
				For transforming by inverse of an affine transformation (e.g. with scaling) [code]transform.affine_inverse() * aabb[/code] can be used instead. See [method Transform3D.affine_inverse].
