Does Maya have an equivalent type of box mapping like 3DS Max?

    Automatic Mapping is probably what you want, it has 6-plane projection by default (same as box mapping).

    Ok, but is there a way to enter specific values for the width and height in automatic mapping?

    Thanks

    Yes, look in the Channel box with the PolyAutoProj node selected in the object's history (or click the Options box next to Automatic Mapping before applying it, and set the settings in there).

    Set "Layout Mode" to Overlap and "Scale Mode" to None, then you can adjust the size of the mapping projection by changing the Scale X/Y/Z values in the channel box.

    Or you could, you know, read the Maya help documentation which explains all of this ;)
