Having trouble orienting bounding box to plane other than XY plane

I am fairly new to grasshopper, I am trying to distribute a custom surface (bulgy surface) multiple times across a larger sub-divided surface. The custom surface is intended to sit flat onto the sub-divided surface regardless of the orientation of the sub-surface (as shown in the picture).

I can only get it to work properly when the sub-surface is oriented to the XY plane because I cant figure out how to get the bounding box to orient with the sub-surface as it moves off of the XY plane.

Is there a way to re-orient the bounding box plane to a non-XY plane so the custom surface sits on the sub-divided surface properly?

To orient a bounding box, see this recent thread:

This sounds like a job for Rhino "PanelingTools"?

Joseph,

Thanks, that forum was very helpful

Hi.

In this case , "Orient" is  simpler than "Box_Morph".

Hyungsoo,

Thank you, I didn't realize how simple it could be.
