Part Box

Description
The Box command from the Part Workbench inserts a parametric, rectangular cuboid, geometric primitive into the active document. By default, the Box command will insert a 10x10x10 mm cube, positioned at the origin, with the label "cube". These parameters may be modified after the object has been added.

 * 2) There are several ways to invoke the command:
 * 3) * Press the button in the toolbar.
 * 4) * Select the from the menu bar.

Result: The default result is a box with an equal length, width and height of 10 mm. It is attached to the global xy-plane and one edge is coincident with the global z-axis.

The box properties can later be edited, either in the property editor or by double-clicking on the box in the model tree.
