Returns the bounding box which bounds the set (Boolean union) of bboxes.
Bounding boxes are represented by a list of two points . The first point represents the minimum x, y, and z coordinates of the bounding box, and the second point represents the maximum point . Thus the bounding box is always aligned with the world coordinate axes.
