I suspect the box is simply too thin. It's almost zero, but not quite. It's certainly way below the tolerance setting.

Thank you for the clarification, David. Are there ways to get around in getting a bounding surface instead of this method? I was trying to make a pattern making tool for any flat surfaces, but I ran into this problem. Any advice will be appreciated.

Does this work as you need it too..

I just added a line using the Evaluate Surface data you had to make the Box 3D and switched the Boundary Box option to Union Box.

Great idea! That'll work for me. Thank you!

About a dozen superfluous components there: since the surface is planar you can just connect it to both inputs of the BoundingBox component.

Nice workflow not considered that.

Awesome! I'm always amazed by how simple the solution could be!
