You could definitely make it a map piece though, hit me up on messenger sometime and I'll help you get a map part made...or you can ask ML, hes become an expert on it by now!

The object culling has to have factors beyond just the center point because most practical objects don't have this problem. From what I'm told the collision model for objects is extremely simple so you might consider using map pieces instead if doing custom stuff. Another recommendation is to always break objects into smaller constituent parts whenever doing custom stuff. That also gives people more freedom when placing scenery/furnishings. For instance if making a large tree consider making the trunk and branches separate objects.

PS: Object collision with Som is a real nightmare. At some point I think I will have to find time to design a map editor that lets you lay down arbitrary invisible collision boxes. If Som would just let you scale a single box on all axes this would be very trivial (afaik there is no way to do this via editors atm) otherwise the boxes would have to either be baked into the map or converted to objects.
