| Section | Property | Description | Parameter | Parameter description | Unit | Multiplicity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Generic** | Specify generic properties | – | 1 | |||
| **Generic** | **width** | The width of the box\* (on x-axis). | – | cm | 1 | |
| **Generic** | **length** | The length of the box\* (on y-axis). | – | cm | 1 | |
| **Generic** | material\_thickness | The thickness of the material. | – | mm | 0-1 | |
| **Generic** | board\_height\_3d | The height of the box\* (on z-axis). | – | mm | 0-1 | |
| **Generic** | outer\_sizing | Whether to include material thickness in the calculations. | – | bool (true or false) | 0-1 | |
| **Generic** | finger\_joint | Whether to add finger (box) joints to the 4 wall corners so panels can be assembled without glue. Front/Back panels get protruding fingers, Left/Right panels get the matching slots. | – | bool (true or false) | 0-1 | |
| **Generic** | finger\_size | The width of a single finger. If not set, defaults to the material thickness. A warning is printed if it is smaller than the material thickness. | – | mm | 0-1 | |
| **Generic** | finger\_count | Number of fingers on each wall edge. If not set (or 0), it is calculated automatically from the edge length and finger size. | – | count | 0-1 | |
| **Generic** | finger\_clearance | Extra clearance added to the slots so the fingers fit without sticking. Applied only to the slots that receive a finger (Left/Right); Front/Back notches stay at finger\_size to keep the edge even. Default: 0. | – | mm | 0-1 | |
| **\[uniquePartName\]\_\[Side\]** | Initiate creation of \[Side\] side of the part \[uniquePartName\]. Side can be: Top, Bottom, Left, Right, Back, Front. | – | 1-6 | |||
| \[uniquePartName\]\_\[Side\] | \[uniqueComponentName\] | A unique component name to create a hole or rectangular shape on the \[uniquePartName\] \[Side\]. | – | 0-\* | ||
| \[uniquePartName\]\_\[Side\] | \[uniqueComponentName\] | – | **location\_x** | X position of center of the \[uniqueComponentName\] relative to the \[uniquePartName\] \[Side\]. | cm | 1 |
| \[uniquePartName\]\_\[Side\] | \[uniqueComponentName\] | – | **location\_y** | X position of center of the \[uniqueComponentName\] relative to the \[uniquePartName\] \[Side\]. | cm | 1 |
| \[uniquePartName\]\_\[Side\] | \[uniqueComponentName\] | – | **drill\_diameter** | The diameter of the hole to open. Has priority over *drill\_width* and *drill\_length*. Set to 0 only to display text. | cm | 1 |
| \[uniquePartName\]\_\[Side\] | \[uniqueComponentName\] | – | **drill\_width** | The drill width of the rectangle to cut out. If *drill\_diameter* is found, *drill\_width* is ignored. Mandatory if *drill\_diameter* is not used. Set to 0 only to display text. | cm | 1 |
| \[uniquePartName\]\_\[Side\] | \[uniqueComponentName\] | – | **drill\_length** | The drill length (y-axis) of the rectangle to cut out. If *drill\_diameter* is found, *drill\_length* is ignored. Mandatory if *drill\_diameter* is not used. Set to 0 only to display text. | cm | 1 |
| \[uniquePartName\]\_\[Side\] | \[uniqueComponentName\] | – | rotation | Clockwise rotation of the component (0-359). If *call\_name* is set, text is also rotated around the component. | degree | 0-1 |
| \[uniquePartName\]\_\[Side\] | \[uniqueComponentName\] | – | call\_name | Text to assign to the component. Placed using *visible\_length* and *visible\_width* as margin. See *rotation* for more info. | text | 0-1 |
| \[uniquePartName\]\_\[Side\] | \[uniqueComponentName\] | – | silk\_screen\_font\_size | Custom font size for the text in pixels (px). | px | 0-1 |
| \[uniquePartName\]\_\[Side\] | \[uniqueComponentName\] | – | visible\_diameter | If a recess is desired in the shape of a circle instead of a rectangle, this value must be specified. If this value is not found then *visible length* and *visible\_width* values are used. | cm | 0-1 |
| \[uniquePartName\]\_\[Side\] | \[uniqueComponentName\] | – | visible\_length | If the visible area of the component is not the same as the drill size, *call\_name* uses this parameter to adjust the font margins keep the text above the visible section. If not found, *drill\_length* is used. This value is also used for the recess length of the component. | cm | 0-1 |
| \[uniquePartName\]\_\[Side\] | \[uniqueComponentName\] | – | visible\_width | If the visible area of the component is not the same as the drill size, *call\_name* uses this parameter to keep the text horizontally centered with the component. If not found *drill\_width* is used. This value is also used for the recess width of the component. | cm | 0-1 |
x = 0, y = 0 for right side, this component will be located at x = b, y = b.
--outer-sizing command-line argument), the front and back sides will be slightly shorter to align with the width of the left and right sides. Similarly, all four sides (left, right, front, and back) will be slightly adjusted to maintain the specified outer volume. The top and bottom will then fit precisely on top of and beneath the other sides. In this case, unlike inner-sizing, components will be placed exactly as you specify it without any adjustments. Below, both variations for the sizing are shown in 3D:
Tip: If you want the overall size to be exactly as you specify in the JSON file, use the --outer-sizing option. If you want the usable inner area to be the same as you define, leave it as default.
