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
Base
- DataPlacement: Specifies the orientation and position of the Box in the 3D space. See Placement. The reference point is the left front lower corner of the box.
- DataLabel: Label given to the Box object. Change to suit your needs.
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
The Box command can by used in macros and from the python console using the following function:
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("Part::Box", "myBox")
- Where "myBox" is the label for the Box object.
- Returns newly created object of type Box.
You can access and modify attributes of the Box object. For example, you may wish to modify the length, width and height parameters.
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.myBox.Length = 25
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.myBox.Width = 15
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.myBox.Height = 30
You can change its placement with:
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.myBox.Placement = FreeCAD.Placement(FreeCAD.Vector(4, 6, 3), FreeCAD.Rotation(30, 45, 10))
