Hi Srijita,

Sounds like it might be an issue with the box dimensions. Could you do a
measure minmax on your system to find out the max and min length on each
dimension? The difference between these would tell you the length of your
box in that dimension. Setting up box lengths by this method usually works
fine.

Hope this helps,
Chitrak.
