Description
Inserts a primitive box in the active Body as the first feature, or fuses it to the existing feature(s).
Usage
- Press the
Additive Box button. Note: the Additive Box is part of an icon menu labelled Create an additive primitive. After launching FreeCAD, the Additive Box is the one displayed in the toolbar. If a different primitive is displayed, click on the down arrow besides the icon and select Additive Box in the menu. - Set the Primitive parameters and Attachment.
- Click OK.
- A Box feature appears under the active Body.
Options
The Box can be edited after its creation in two ways:
- Double-clicking it in the Model tree, or by right-clicking and selecting Edit primitive in the contextual menu; this brings up the Primitive parameters.
- Via the Property editor.
Properties
- DataAttachment: defines the attachment mode as well as the Attachment Offset. See Part EditAttachment.
- DataLabel: Label given to the Box object. Change to suit your needs.
- DataLength: the Box's dimension in the X-direction.
- DataWidth: the Box's dimension in the Y-direction.
- DataHeight: the Box's dimension in the Z-direction.
