yellow lines stand for Z direction (depth).blue lines stand for Y direction (height).

red lines stand for X direction (width).

These lines are drawn in different colors, so that users could distinguish one line from another: In order to represent an object in 3D (it's emulated 3D, so it's rather 2.5D), the 3D box tool deals with axes (XYZ), planes (XY, XZ, YZ), parallel lines (PL), converging lines and vanishing points (VP).Įach dimension can lie on either parallel or converging lines. The tool automatically ensures that all sides of the box lie on the corresponding perspective lines. The 3D box tool helps you create such drawings by automating the most common operation: creating a box in a given 3D perspective. However, very often it is used to create drawings or objects that appear three-dimensional. Inkscape is a two-dimensional drawing tool.
