Hi,

it is kind of weird property…it is indexed, but not by integers (0, 1, etc.)  
You pass a view object as an index, like so:

```
import clr

#The inputs to this node will be stored as a list in the IN variables.
e = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
view = UnwrapElement(IN[1])
output = []

bb = e.BoundingBox[view]

#Assign your output to the OUT variable.
OUT = [bb.Min,bb.Max]

```

I could not pass a None value however - as you could with get\_boundingbox(None)
