i have wondered for a while waths the difference betwen the make cube and box command?
does one have an + side towards the other and so on ?
better in some way as i cant understand why you create to almost completely the same objects with 2 differrent commands?
is the make box command an old one from before the scale object command ?
cheers

box makes a 3d rectangle, you can define x, y & z.

Cube makes a 3d cube, you only specify 1 size value for all 3 axis.

Which would you want to do, write one line that gives you a 3d rectangle right away or two lines which could give you more errors.

eg
make object box 1,100,50,100

or
make object cube 1,100
scale object 1,10,50,100

Or you could make a cube in one line with both commands...:

Make Object Cube 1,10

Make Object Box 1,100,100,100

you have to be an really crappy coder to do an error with those 2 commands.
i was yust some thoughts about it as i never use the box command as i always start my editors with an object in the same size all around and then edit them with the scale command.
so hence its always an cube.
