Cladding - box morph

Hi all. I think it's a very simple question, but I can't get the solution.
I've got a facade made by various cells. Each cell has different size and orientation.
I designed all the cell's boxes starting from each baseline and mooving the boxes on each level.
Then i designed a single cell with two windows and walls between them.
I just want to apply the geometry of the single cell to the boxes of all the cells.
I tried using the box morph component but there should be something wrong because it doesn't work.
The best result I get is a repetition of my cell's module always with the same orientation of the original one.
Can anybody give me an help, please?
Thank you very much.

Mario, thank you for reply

theese are the cell's boxes:

this is the single cell module

and this is what i get when i apply the boxmorphing component:

attached you can find the definition, to run it just set some lines (better if planar ) to the geometry parameter you find in the upper right side of the canvas.

thank you again

You need to supply Twisted "BOXES" not BREPs that are box like.

Thank you guys!
Today I was too busy with other stuff to reply. I just opened your definition,Danny,
but I saw just the cells without the windows.. ( could it be because of my GH is an older version?)
Tomorrow I will try to understand better what's the problem and will reply.
But, thank you again!

Danny, actually when I opened your def I didn't see that component and I had 6 error messages.
the vertex-to-box component had no connections and now, watching your picture, i understand why.
Tomorrow when I come back to office I'll try to install the newest version and test your def again. Then I will tell you.
Thanks
