What causes a "degenerate box"?

I can't see anything wrong with my input points. I am using the Box 2Pt component. But I still get this error mesage.

Can some help?

A box with zero height will give you a degenerate box, but it's not necessarily a critical error.

Ya thats what I was afraid of. For morphing tools a lot of my boxes are flat but for some reason this one just doesn't want to work with me.

Thanks for the reply.

So I realize this is a really old thread, but I've been having the same problem and think that I may have found a solution. I thought I'd post it here for the next guy:

Approaching a morphing action by creating a bounding box around the object to be resized, then specifying the volume (in this case area as the source box has zero height): attach a deconstruct brep component to the bounding box component, then use rectangle mapping instead of box mapping. This allows for the implementation of the Bounding box, and avoids the zero height "degeneracy" issue.
