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.
Usage
- Switch to the Part Workbench
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
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.
Properties
Box
- DataLength: The length parameter is the Box's dimension in the x-direction.
- DataWidth: The width parameter is the Box's dimension in the y-direction.
- DataHeight: The height parameter is the Box's dimension in the z-direction.
Scripting
A Part Box can be created using the following function:
box = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("Part::Box", "myBox")
- Where
"myBox"
is the name for the object. - The function returns the newly created object.
The name of the object can be easily changed by
box.Label = "new boxName"
You can access and modify attributes of the box
object. For example, you may wish to modify the length, width and height parameters.
box.Length = 25
box.Width = 15
box.Height = 30
You can change its placement with:
box.Placement = FreeCAD.Placement(FreeCAD.Vector(4, 6, 3), FreeCAD.Rotation(30, 45, 10))
