Setting Collidebox Dimensions

Regarding your question, you need to reset the position of the tree before retrieving it's bounding box. Here is a modified version of your code:

import viz, vizact

def setOnGround(obj):
	ymin = obj.getBoundingBox().ymin
	pos = obj.getPosition()
	obj.setPosition(pos[0], pos[1]-ymin, pos[2])

def enablePhysics():
	viz.phys.enable()
	ground.collidePlane()
	tree1.collidebox()
	
	#Zero position before retrieving bounding box
	pos = tree2.getPosition()
	tree2.setPosition(0,0,0)
	
	#Get objects bounding box
	bb = tree2.getBoundingBox()
	
	#Restore position
	tree2.setPosition(pos)
	
	#Use bounding box for collision
	tree2.collidebox(bb.size,pos=bb.center)

viz.go()
viz.clearcolor(viz.SKYBLUE)
viz.MainView.move(0,0,-15)
ground = viz.add('tut_ground.wrl')
tree1 = viz.add('tree.3ds')
tree2 = viz.add('tree.3ds')
tree1.scale([.2]*3)
tree2.scale([.2]*3)
tree1.setPosition(-10, 0, 15)
tree2.setPosition(10, 0, 15)
setOnGround(tree1)
setOnGround(tree2)
vizact.onkeydown('1', enablePhysics)
