By bounding box does makes sense, though I believe there are items that hang from the ceiling that don't even have bounding boxes. Also the width/depth bounding box can be very different than the sprite dimensions, such as Heretic pillars. They have a small width/depth bounding box but are very tall and skinny so they would have to be scaled way down. That's a fundamental issue with sprites in the automap: Sprites assume you are seeing them from the side, while on the automap you're looking at them from above.
