Section: TabbedBox

Module: InsetLid()

Topics: TabbedBox

Usage:

  • InsetLid(50, 100);

Description:

Make a lid inset into the box with tabs on the side to close the box. This just does the insets around the top.

Arguments:

By Position What it does
width the width of the box (outside width)
length the length of the box (outside length)
lid_thickness height of the lid (default 2)
wall_thickness thickness of the walls (default 2)
inset how far the side is inset from the edge of the box (default 1)
lid_rounding how much rounding on the edge of the lid (default wall_thickness/2)
lid_size_spacing how much wiggle room to give in the model (default m_piece_wiggle_room)

Example 1:
