BOX — Box

Creates a solid box.

• Command: BOX · Global name: _BOX

Creates a solid box (cuboid) as an ACIS 3DSOLID, just like the ones AutoCAD writes.

Usage

1. Enter BOX (CAJA) or click Box.

First base corner:

2. Pick the first base corner and the opposite corner (they set the length and width).

Height:

3. Type the height (or pick it as a distance). The box is created.

Notes

• The base is at the Z of the first point if you type x,y,z (e.g. 0,0,3) and otherwise at the current elevation (ELEV); the box grows towards +Z. An opposite corner with another Z (10,5,6) gives the height without asking for it. The same holds for the base point of WEDGE, CYLINDER, CONE, SPHERE, TORUS and PYRAMID.
• The solid is an exact ACIS 3DSOLID: AutoCAD audits it with no errors and MASSPROP reports the correct volume.
