Enter the part name. Activate or deactivate the Reference, Feature and BOM-relevant checkboxes.

Now enter the required data.

  • Length (X)
  • Width (Y)
  • Height (Z)
  • Length (X)
  • Width (Y)
  • Height (Z)
  • Wall thickness
  • Wall thickness

If you have selected the Preview mode, position the cuboid in the drawing. The fitting point is the bottom left corner of the cuboid.

In the Points direct mode,you define the height by specifying the start and end points of the space diagonal, e.g. Absolute (0,0,0) and (0,0,500).

Hollow cuboid in Preview mode: (1) Length, (2) Width, (3) Height, (4) Wall thickness (internal), (5) Fitting point

Hollow cuboid in Points direct mode: (1) Wall thickness (internal), (2) Start point, (3) End point of the space diagonal

In the case of negative value inputs, the corresponding value is marked off in negative axis direction, e.g. in negative z-direction if you enter a negative value for the height. This also changes the fitting point (e.g. with negative height specification – top left corner).
