Hi @ZJRODGERS,

This post is probably what you need :

> Hi! I found a good way to find a rotated bounding box around multiple elements. Maybe that would be useful for someone. [Rotated\_box\_1.0.dyn](https://forum.dynamobim.com/uploads/short-url/iU02swwKUTWHWr6DKI53qBi04pI.dyn) (13.3 KB)

The python script produces a solid and you can use the rotation angle of your elements to align this cuboid with your element.
