I use the Box Creator a lot and every single time I generate a box, it gets inserted into my drawing as two drawings, one on top of the other.
My typical operational flow is as follows:
1. Start the Gadget, specify the parameters, and click OK
2. The resultant objects that were created by the gadget are highlighted with move handles, but they are NOT selected.
3. Click in the drawing to deselect the new objects
4. Select all of the new objects that were drawn by the gadget
5. Click on Weld to eliminate the duplicate vectors (smashes them down the Z axis)
There are two things wrong here. 1. the gadget should not be outputting two overlapping drawings, and 2) the resultant objects should either be selected (so I can go straight to another operation), or they should not be selected. As it stands, the UI indicates that they are selected, but they are not.

Re: Box Creator overlapping models
Is this what you are seeing?
This is normal and necessary. Those lines are not duplicates (or excees) needing to be deleted. The are the lines for the profile toolpath:
If those are not what you are seeing then you might want to post and image ‘cause guessing is what’s going to happen.
