Box orbits in triaxial galaxies with central black holes are generically resonant, or thin. Stable resonant orbits avoid the central black hole; orbits that are thick enough to approach the destabilizing center are typically stochastic. We present the properties of thin box orbits in a family of triaxial potentials with cusps and central black holes.
