If it is an infinite object, it is ignored and the default bounding
box is used instead. If it is finite, its bounding box is used for
vista and light buffer calculations (and the max() and min() in the
SUperPatch) and forray-shape intersection test the nested bounding
objects hierarchy is used (i.e. bounding box of bounding object is
checked first, then the bounding object and lastly the bounded object
itself)
