plane oriented bounding box (bug?)

Is this component working correctly or is my understanding of how it should perform not correct. My understanding is that for this component you input the plane to orient the bounding box. For some reason the box remains oriented to the world axis no matter which plane in input. As I change the orientation plane I can see the plane re-orienting but the bounding box does not re-orient. Thanks!!!

I believe a box is different to a bounding box. A bounding box represnets the extents of the WORLD co-ordinate system enclosing the box. It is not necessarily aligend with the corners of a box. Currnelty rhinocommon does not allow you to orientate the plane of a bounding box.

Thanks for the feedback. Do you have any idea of what the purpose of the "plane" input on this component is? I was hoping the plane input would to set the orientation of the box.

Darn, forgot to finish this component before releasing. It's only partially working.
The old BoundingBox component (which doesn't support orientation) should still work though.
