Are you speaking about the bounding-box of the entity? Then you should use the 'ccHObject::getOwnBB' method.

Otherwise, if you are talking about the grid structure that some clouds have (e.g. when they come from Faro or DP files) then you have to get the associated 'Grid' structure (see ccPointCloud::grid). And it's only for some point clouds (not for meshes).
