Remarks

The input parameter is the following array of doubles:

[ boxFaceCenter[3], boxAxis[3], boxWidth, boxLength, boxHeight ]

where:

boxFaceCenter[3]

XYZ location that represents the center of one of the box faces.

boxAxis[3]

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

boxWidth

Box width. If boxAxis is parallel to the Z axis (0,0,1), then this value represents the dimension that is parallel to the X-axis; otherwise, the orientation is not defined.

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; otherwise, the orientation is not defined.

boxHeight

Height to extrude along the boxAxis direction. If boxHeight is 0, a sheet body will be created of dimension boxWidth x boxLength and whose normal is defined by boxAxis.
