I'm not sure I understand but perhaps this could help. At first you can use
plane instead of box. You can calculate plane parameters from points A,B,C.
Normal of this plane is cross product of vectors BA and CA. Then you have to
translate this plane to point A. I hope it is correct and possible with Moray.
I've never used this modeler.
