*"what if the boxes generated could be made to track the vertex they were created from, and then be used to parent objects to?"

*I think Ockham did something like this in his pseudo-parenting script, whatever it's called, although he perhaps didn't take the idea as far as what you're suggesting.  Unless I'm getting confused again, I think he uses worldvertex postions as the point of reference when applying the parenting in his script.

Thanks for the compliment.  :-P  Now I'll get a swelled head, and mess up (I mean mess up even more).  If you look at the quality of my code, however, it should be clear that my scripts aren't brilliant.  I keep hoping that some of the more capable and talented people around here will look at some of the potential that's been overlooked in PoserPython.  The Blender community has some real geniuses who constantly write free scripted utilities, Ideasman being my personal hero among them.  The Poser community is similarly dedicated to sharing, but fewer people seem to jump in and try to expand PoserPython.  Alas.  Maybe it's because Poser has become more marketplace driven....

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
