TagBox["\"\<Utah Teapot\>\"",
#& ,
BoxID -> "ResourceTag-Utah Teapot-Input",
AutoDelete->True]\)]](https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/resourcesystem/images/f2d/f2dcb501-fd59-4986-b598-2f30ac56d0ac/6e8c2f2430ade06e.png){kind=small} |
| Out[1]= |  |
Summary properties:
| In[2]:= | ![ResourceData[\!\(\*
TagBox["\"\<Utah Teapot\>\"",
#& ,
BoxID -> "ResourceTag-Utah Teapot-Input",
AutoDelete->True]\), "Summary"]](https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/resourcesystem/images/f2d/f2dcb501-fd59-4986-b598-2f30ac56d0ac/61302e7bdd4c9b15.png){kind=small} |

Scope & Additional Elements (2)
Draw a wireframe model:
| In[3]:= | ![MeshRegion[ResourceData[\!\(\*
TagBox["\"\<Utah Teapot\>\"",
#& ,
BoxID -> "ResourceTag-Utah Teapot-Input",
AutoDelete->True]\)], PlotTheme -> "Lines"]](https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/resourcesystem/images/f2d/f2dcb501-fd59-4986-b598-2f30ac56d0ac/38b628f3e1e65a87.png){kind=small} |
| Out[3]= |  |
Find the minimum volume ball that encapsulates the mesh:
| In[4]:= | ![bound = BoundingRegion[ResourceData[\!\(\*
TagBox["\"\<Utah Teapot\>\"",
#& ,
BoxID -> "ResourceTag-Utah Teapot-Input",
AutoDelete->True]\)], "MinBall"]](https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/resourcesystem/images/f2d/f2dcb501-fd59-4986-b598-2f30ac56d0ac/50d578d49509f89a.png){kind=small} |
| Out[4]= |  |
| In[5]:= | ![Show[{ResourceData[\!\(\*
TagBox["\"\<Utah Teapot\>\"",
