Procedure

Quick Reference

Create a rectangular or cubical mesh box.

The base of the mesh box is drawn parallel to the XY plane of the current UCS (workplane).

You can set defaults for the number of divisions for each dimension of new mesh boxes in the Mesh Primitive Options dialog box. You can also modify these settings and the level of smoothness as you create the mesh object.

Mesh Box Creation Options

The Box option of the MESH command provides several methods for determining the size and rotation of the mesh boxes you create.

Create a cube. Use the Cube option to create a mesh box with sides of equal length.
Specify rotation. Use the Cube or Length option if you want to set the rotation of the box in the XY plane.
Start from the center point. Use the Center option to create a box using a specified center point.
