Menu: Draw – Meshes > Box
Command line: 3D
The command creates a 3D box.
Options:
| Cube | Switch to create a cubic box with edges of equal length. |
|---|---|
| Reference | Specify the rotation angle of the box, measured from the reference angle. |
| Points | Specify the rotation angle, measured from the reference angle to the segment, defined by two points. |
Command prompts:
| Specify corner point of box: | Specify point 1. |
|---|---|
| Specify length of box: | Specify point 2. |
| Specify width of box or [Cube]: | Specify point 3 or select the Cube option |
| Specify height of box: | Specify point 4. |
| Specify rotation angle of box about the Z axis or [Reference]: | Specify the rotation angle or select the Reference option. The rotation angle is set relative to the first corner specified (point 1) and is measured from the X-axis on the XY plane. |
When you select the Reference option, the following prompts are displayed:
| Specify angle or <0>: | Specify a point or enter the angle value. |
|---|---|
