Box
2D/3D

• Box[bnum, {lpnt1, lpnt2}] generates a box with two opposing corners located at local points lpnt1 and lpnt2, on body bnum. The sides of the box are aligned with the local axes of body bnum.

• Box returns a list of Mathematica graphics primitives that are functions of mechanism location variables.
• In Modeler2D, the Box function is analogous to Rectangle.
• In Modeler3D, the Box function is analogous to Cuboid.
• The Faces option can be given to determine whether to draw the box with filled polygons or as a wire frame. The default setting is Faces->True.
• See also: Bar, Facet, Wheel.

Further Examples

Load the Modeler2D package and define a simple model.

In[1]:=

Box is used to draw several boxes on the crank body. The absolute location of all the graphics depends on the rules returned by SolveMech.

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

Change to the Modeler3D package and define a simple model.

In[3]:=

Box is used to draw several 3D cuboids on the crank body.
