Set bounding box as box mapping for many objects

Hello,

I have a bunch of geometry (wooden planks) and a texture that fits them perfectly. Is there any way to automatically set the uv box mapping to a bounding box oriented to the geometry?

There’s tons of them and takes a while to go into each plank and orient the box properly.

I had a look at python but it was beyond me for the moment.

Hello - see how this works:

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs


def BoxMapEach():
    
    ids = rs.GetObjects("Select objects for BB box mapping.", filter = 8+16+32, preselect=True)
    if not ids: return
    
    rs.EnableRedraw(False)
    for id in ids:
        rs.UnselectAllObjects()
        rs.SelectObject(id)
        rs.Command("ApplyBoxMapping BoundingBox World Yes 1 ")
    
    rs.SelectObjects(ids)
    
    rs.EnableRedraw(True)
    
if __name__ == '__main__':BoxMapEach()

To use the Python script use RunPythonScript, or a macro:

_-RunPythonScript "Full path to py file inside double-quotes"
