To create a \b Box in the <b>Main Menu</b> select <b>New Entity - >
Primitives - > Box</b>

\n There are 2 algorithms for creation of a \b Box.
\n The \b Result of each operation will be a GEOM_Object (SOLID).

\n Firstly, you can define a \b Box by two specified \b Vertices (its
opposite corners). The edges of the box will be parallel to the
coordinate axes.
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakeBoxTwoPnt(Point1, Point2)</em>
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + 2 vertices (opposite corners of the box).

\n Secondly, you can define a \b Box by specified dimensions along the
coordinate axes and with edges, parallel to them.  The center of the
box will be at point (DX/2, DY/2, DZ/2).
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakeBoxDXDYDZ(DX, DY, DZ)</em>
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + 3 values (dimensions at origin).

\b NB! There is a third way to create a \b Box, which is currently
accessible only via \b TUI commands.
\n You can define a \b Box by the coordinates of two \b Vertices (in
this way you don't need to create them in advance).
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakeBox(x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2)</em>
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + X, Y and Z coordinates of both points.


<b>Example:</b>

Our <b>TUI Scripts</b> provide you with useful examples of creation of
