Bounding Box Problem

I was trying to superimpose a geometry on surface boxes using the bounding boxes. When I tried to create a bounding box on an object made of intersecting pipes I end up with three bounding boxes. I even tried to set my U-value to True and it still shows as three boxes.

The bounding box works without the pipes, but for some reason when I do box morph only one line is superimposed instead of all six of them.

Is there a way how to deal with this problem?

Are your inputs flattened?

i.e. you don't have 3 separate branches, do you?

I tried flattening it. Still didn't work.

I selected all the curves for the pipe component. And I'm not sure what you mean by branches.

Anyways, here's what I did with Grasshopper.

Right-click on the "C" input of [BBox] > toggle "Flatten" > make sure "U" is set to "True"

Still doesn't work.

Only one pipe gets superimposed into the boxes.

Thanks for your suggestion. I figured my way out already, but I'll note that the next time I create pipe modules.

why are you using two bounding boxes? can you elaborate a little bit on that definition? thank you

how did you solve this problem? i am interested in the pipe system and boundaries
