Cardboard Box

Cardboard Box — a parametric geometric primitive representing a cardboard box. The generator procedurally generates shape from a set of parameters.

Parameter	Description
Width	External box width
Height	External box height
Length	External box length/depth
Wall Thickness	Thickness of the cardboard walls
Edge Bevel (Fillet) Radius	Outer bevel radius, configurable globally, per edge, per axis group (X, Y, Z), or axis combinations.
Bevel (Fillet) Radius Ratio *(0.0–1.0)*	Defines the bevel radius relative to half of the wall thickness. A value of 0 produces no bevel, while 1 sets the bevel radius equal to one-half of the wall thickness.
Use Fillet Along Axis	Enables fillet generation on edges parallel to the selected axis. Fillet parameters can be specified independently for the X, Y, and Z axis groups, or assigned to predefined axis combinations (X+Y, X+Z, Y+Z, and X+Y+Z).
Side Closure State (Solid / Empty Face)	Defines whether each side of the box is open or closed

Fillet Applied Along X and Z Axes Example (see picture below).

The generator applies the specified fillet radius to all edges parallel to the X and Z axes. Edges parallel to the Y axis remain unaffected.

Side Closure Example

You can enable or disable closure independently for each face, allowing any combination of open and closed sides.

The cardboard box generator supports a wide range of box styles and dimensions.

Furthermore, the generator procedurally creates all geometry from the specified parameters, allowing rapid creation and modification of cardboard box designs without manual mesh editing.
