Creating boxes
A box is an object that has six faces: a bottom, four sides, and a top. You can use box objects 
to represent solid objects such as cabinets, refrigerators, or other appliances. The box tool 
lets you create an object that is a cube with six equal sides. After you add a box, you can 
change its sides to be unequal lengths by dragging the box’s connectors. 
To add a box:

Select the box tool

If desired, set one or more options in the Object Inspector palette:

Creating cones and columns
A column is an object that is the same diameter at all points between its top and bottom 
edge. A cone is an object that can have a larger diameter at its bottom than at its top. For 
example, you can use a column to hold up the roof of a building, and you can use a cone 
to represent the nose cone on an airplane. You can slant a cone or column at any angle 
from 0 to 90 degrees, relative to the point of view of visitors to your world.
