boxAxis[3]

XYZ direction. The box will be extruded along this vector from the boxFaceCenter location, a distance of boxHeight.

boxLength

Box length. If boxAxis is parallel to the Z axis (0,0,1), then this value represents the dimension that is parallel to the Y axis; the new body is rotated to the input boxAxis direction and translates it to the boxFaceCenter.
