Description
The Part Box command creates a parametric box solid.
FreeCAD creates a cube, each side with an equal length of 10 millimetre.
By default, the box is positioned with the lower left corner at the origin (0,0,0). The bottom of the cube is on the xy-plane. Its extension in x, y and z direction follows the positive axis values.
<! 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 properties of the box can be edited later, either in the property editor or by double-clicking on the box in the model tree.
Example
A Part Box object with the values of the bottom scripting example are shown here.
Notes
By default, a box is created with three sides (edges) of equal length, each one 10 mm long.
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.
Base
The objects placement and its label.
Box
- DataLength (
Length
): The length of the box. This is the dimension in the x-direction. - DataWidth (
Length
): The width of the box. This is the dimension in the y-direction. - DataHeight (
Length
): The height of the box. This is the 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 theName
for the object. The name must be unique for the entire document. - The function returns the newly created object.
The Label
is the user editable name for the object. It can be easily changed by
box.Label = "new myBoxName"
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 = 4
box.Width = 8
box.Height = 12
You can change its placement with:
box.Placement = FreeCAD.Placement(FreeCAD.Vector(1, 2, 3), FreeCAD.Rotation(75, 60, 30))
