Description

Usage

1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
   • Press the Cube button.
   • Select the Part → Primitives → Cube option from the menu.
2. The box is created.
3. Optionally change the dimensions and DatePlacement of the box by doing one of the following:
   • Double-click the object in the Tree view:
     1. The Geometric Primitives task panel opens.
     2. Change one or more properties.
     3. The object is dynamically updated in the 3D view.
     4. Press the OK button.
   • Change the properties in the Property editor.
   • Change the DatePlacement with the Std TransformManip command.

Example

A Part Box object created with the scripting example below is shown here.

Notes

• A Part Box can also be created with the Part Primitives command. With that command you can specify the dimensions and placement at creation time.

Properties

See also: Property editor.

A Part Box object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:

Data

Attachment

The object has the same attachment properties as a Part Part2DObject.

Scripting

See also: Autogenerated API documentation, Part scripting and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

box = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("Part::Box", "myBox")

Example:

import FreeCAD as App

doc = App.activeDocument()

box = doc.addObject("Part::Box", "myBox")
box.Length = 4
box.Width = 8
box.Height = 12
box.Placement = App.Placement(App.Vector(1, 2, 3), App.Rotation(75, 60, 30))

doc.recompute()
