Noob Question about Dummy's

I am just about to start work on the simple shape tutorial but the one thing I can't understand is where he is placing the dummy's; From the photos it looks like it is from out side of the bounds box but when I download the max tool package and it has the examples in there the dummy objects are inside the bound box and are even inside the object it self.

Dummy objects can be anywhere, unless they are used for positioning something.

Like the detail-5 dummy can be anywhere, but a mount1 dummy would be whereever you wanted to mount an object.
