Description

Inserts a subtractive box in the active Body. Its shape is subtracted from the existing solid.

On the left: active body (A) shown in grey and subtractive box (B) shown in transparent red; result on the right.

Usage

1. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
   • Press the Subtractive Box button. Note: the Subtractive Box is part of an icon menu labelled Subtractive Primitive. After launching FreeCAD, the Subtractive Box is the one displayed in the toolbar. If a different primitive is displayed, click on the down arrow besides the icon and select Subtractive Box in the menu.
   • Select the Part Design → Subtractive Primitive → Subtractive Box option from the menu.
2. Set the Primitive Parameters and Attachment.
3. Click OK.
4. 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 Tree View, or by right-clicking and selecting Edit Primitive in the context menu; this brings up the Primitive Parameters.
• Via the Property View.
