Box

The Box command creates an Extrusion box.

The Box, Cylinder, Tube, and ExtrudeCrv commands create extrusion objects. Extrusion objects are defined by a profile curve and a straight line. They use less memory and mesh faster. They are a good option when making models containing lots of simple shapes.
These objects will be converted to polysurfaces by some commands if necessary to add additional information for editing. Use the PointsOn command or press F10 to turn on Extrusion points.
