Cube/Length/<Opposite corner>: (Pick another point, or enter an option.)

Height of box: (Pick two points, or enter a height.)

Command Options

Option	Description
Corner of box	Specifies one corner of the box's base. Enter x,y,z coordinates or pick a point in the drawing.
Center	Specifies the center of the box's base. Enter x,y,z coordinates or pick a point in the drawing.
Cube	Specifies a box with equal sides: Length of sides of cube - enter a length, or pick two points.
Length	Specifies the lengths of each side: Length of side of box - specify the length in the x direction. Width of box - specify the length in the y direction. Height of box - specify the length in the z direction. You may enter negative values to draw the box in the downward directions.
