Hi Christi,

Thank you for your very helpful box creator macro. I am very new to FreeCAD and would like to know if it is possible to re-dimension a box (I don't see a sketch). I have used a box as a component and need to change some dime.

Thanks,

Ken Hull

No. sorry, this is not possible. You have to create a new box and move your modifications (if there are any) to the new box and delete the old one.

Is there a way to change the units? The macro creates the box in mm even if the system units are set to Building US or US Customary.
