      In the case of the cylinder, the definition of the height also defines the normal for the cylinder. If you were only doing cylinders oriented along one of the axes, then you could just as easily do it the other way.

      I think I have found and fixed the bug in Rotated Box that caused the box to be displaced when dimensions were keyed in.

      Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

          Yes of course. Using Notepad, change the line "@group_box = true" to "@group_box = false".

              Love this - using it all day long to build furniture from ply and sheet goods!
              One wish - to draw the height of the box from the center, not just up or down.
              Thanks.

                Do you mean the height value entered would be half the desired height? Would this always be the case?

                    I'm sorry but that makes no sense.

                      For instance - to draw a shelf centered on the side. This is Rhino:

                        Thanks for the graphic. At least it makes sense now.

                        I have sent you, by Personal Message, a modified copy that I think does what you want.
