Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static Box`	`create(Rectangle3d bottomRectangle, double height)`	Creates a new instance of a box from given parameters.

- Method Detail
  - getBottomRectangle
```
Rectangle3d getBottomRectangle()
```
    Returns the bottom rectangle of this box. The bottom rectangle also defines the directioning of the box. The side up is defined by the direction of the cross product from the vectors of the first three points in the rectangle. This is analoguous to Triangle3d. For example, if the bottom rectangle is formed by points (0,0,0), (1,0,0), (1,1,0) and (0,1,0), the up direction is to direction of the positive Z-unit vector.
    
    Returns:
    
    the bottom rectangle

  - getHeight
```
double getHeight()
```
    Returns the height of this box. Note that the bottom rectangle defines the direction of "up", so this is just a scalar.
    
    Returns:
    
    the height of this box

  - getUpDirection
```
Vector3d getUpDirection()
```
    A convenience method for getting the up direction of this box.
    
    Returns:
    
    the up direction

  - create
```
static Box create(Rectangle3d bottomRectangle,
                  double height)
```
    Creates a new instance of a box from given parameters.
    
    Parameters:
    
    bottomRectangle - the bottom rectangle of the box
    
    height - the height of the box
    
    Returns:
    
    the new box instance
