Box

The function areEqual() compares two shapes and returns True if they are equal and False otherwise. Here it is used to compare solid boxes, one with x, y, z dimensions 1x100x10 and the other 1x100x9. These boxes are created in the default position, with one corner at the origin and dimensions extending in the positive direction.

box1 = Part.makeBox(1, 100, 10)
print(areEqual(box1, Part.makeBox(1, 100, 10)))
print(areEqual(box1, Part.makeBox(1, 100, 9)))

True
False

The function isSubset() compares two shapes and returns True if the first is a subset of the second, and False otherwise. Equal is considered to be a subset, that is, the subset need not be a strict subset, so the result is True if the objects are equal.

print(isSubset(Part.makeBox(1, 100, 10), box1))
print(isSubset(Part.makeBox(1, 100, 9),  box1))
print(isSubset(box1, Part.makeBox(1, 100, 9)))

True
True
False

These have no output

testEqual(box1, Part.makeBox(1, 100, 10))
testNotEqual(box1, Part.makeBox(1, 100, 9))

and these raise exceptions

testNotEqual(box1, Part.makeBox(1, 100, 10))
testEqual(box1, Part.makeBox(1, 100, 9))

A solid box can also be constructed by extruding a square made from line segments starting at the origin:

L1 = Part.LineSegment(o, x)
L2 = Part.LineSegment(x, Vector(1, 100, 0))
L3 = Part.LineSegment(Vector(1, 100,0), Vector(0, 100, 0))
L4 = Part.LineSegment(Vector(0, 100, 0), o)
sq = Part.Shape([L1, L2, L3, L4])
# Part.show(sq )

f = Part.makeFilledFace(sq.Edges)
# Part.show(f)
box2 = f.extrude(Vector(0,0,10))
# Part.show(box2)

print(areEqual(box1, box2))
testEqual(box1, box2,)

True
