one method to get at what you are describing is to use a point attractor
method.  I'm not in a position to take screen grabs at the moment but here
is a general description how you might do it....

1.  Copy your surface box component (be sure it is still linked to the same
domain and surface as the original).  Turn off the preview of the copied
component.
2.  Calculate the centroid of the "copied" surface box using the BRep Area
component.
3.  Set a point in space and calculate the distance (using distance
component) between that point and the centroid of the "copied" surface
boxes.
4.  Plug-in the calculated distances (preferably some fraction thereof) to
the "original" surface box height and the height will now vary depending on
the position of the point.

Hope that helps guide you to a desired result.  I can post a screen grab or
file later today if you need more help.
