refDir
Type: CodeStack.SwEx.MacroFeature.DataVector
Input or output direction of ref axis which corresponds to X. Specify null to auto calculate
width
Type: SystemDouble
Width of the box in meters
length
Type: SystemDouble
Length of the box in meters

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IModeler. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).
Remarks
Use this method instead of built-in IModeler::CreateBodyFromBox If you need to preserve entity ids as the body generated using the built-in method won't allow to set user id, which means any reference geometry generated in relation to box entities will become dangling upon rebuild
