Description

3D #box model resource, #plane model resource, and vector property; indicates the length in world units of the box or plane.

The length of a box is measured along its Z axis. The default length of a box is 50.

The length of a plane is measured along its Y axis. The default length of a plane is 1.

The length of a vector is its distance in world units from vector(0, 0, 0). This is the same as the magnitude of the vector.
