This section describes how to use the Center Box component, which creates a rectangular object.


On the Grasshopper, it is represented by either of the two above.
Creating a box
Center Box can be used to create a box.

The Center Box(B) is used to input location information for the box to be created.
The location information can be a point, plane, or coordinate information.
Initially, the coordinate information of 50,50,0 is input.
In the Center Box(X) , enter a numerical value for the length in the X-axis direction.
In this case, 10 is entered.
The Center Box(Y) is used to input the numerical value of the length in the Y-axis direction.
In this case, 5 is entered.
Enter a numerical value for the length in the Z-axis direction at the Center Box(Z).
In this case, 20 is entered.

A box is now created as shown here.
You can see that a 10 x 5 x 20 box has been created at the specified coordinates of 50,50,0.

To make it easier to understand where the box is created, the location information is specified in terms of points.

The position of the specified point is found to be the center of the box.

If we change the viewing angle, we can see that the rectangle is centered at the specified position.
Thus, a box is created with the specified position at its center.
