Cuboid

Cuboid[{x_min, y_min, z_min}]
is a three-dimensional graphics primitive that represents a unit cuboid, oriented parallel to the axes.

Cuboid[{x_min, y_min, z_min}, {x_max, y_max, z_max}]
specifies a cuboid by giving the coordinates of opposite corners.

MORE INFORMATION

Each face of the cuboid (rectangular parallelepiped) is effectively a Polygon object, with its front face on the outside.

You can specify how the faces and edges of the cuboid should be rendered using the same graphics directives as for polygons. »

Cuboids can be specified as transparent using Opacity directives. »

The coordinates of the corners of the cuboid can be given using Scaled. »

Cuboid[] is equivalent to Cuboid[{0, 0, 0}].
