To create a rectangle or a cuboid
Select the Rectangle (Geometry menu) command. The Rectangle parameters are displayed.
Complete the parameters:
Length – Type in the length of the rectangle or select <Digitise>.
Width – Type in the width of the rectangle or select <Digitise>.
Depth – Type in a value to project the rectangle in the {Z} of the current CPL. Select <Digitise> to be able to specify the depth with a digitise, or select <None> to produce a rectangle rather than a cuboid.
Corner Radius – Enter a radius to produce a rectangle with rounded corners. The default is zero which produces 90° corners.
Digitise a point in response to the ‘Select start of rectangle’ prompt.
If you did not specify both the length and width, digitise a point in response to the ‘Select end of rectangle’ prompt.
If you selected Digitise for the depth, make a digitise in another view to specify the depth.
To create another rectangle, return to step 3.
