Create the box
Start with a simple box or rectangular solid. Set the dimensions you want and orbit the camera so the top face is easy to work on.

Online CAD Tutorial for Beginners – Box with Offset, Push/Pull, Chamfer & Fillet
Create your first simple CAD part directly in the browser: make a box, create an offset contour, modify it with Push/Pull, then finish the model with chamfers and fillets.

This beginner tutorial combines several core ShapeAnywhere tools in one compact workflow. You will create a base solid, continue modeling directly on an existing face, and then refine selected edges with chamfers and fillets.
Step by step
Create an offset on the face
Select the top face and use the Offset tool. Move the new contour inward and enter an exact distance if needed. This creates a second closed profile inside the box.
Modify it with Push/Pull
Activate Push/Pull and grab the new inner region. Pull it downward to create a recess and enter the exact depth you want.
Add a chamfer
Select a suitable model edge and add a chamfer. Adjust the amount until the sharp corner is cleanly beveled.
Add fillets
Select other edges and add a fillet. This softens sharp transitions and is useful for finishing many 3D-printing parts.
Review the result
Orbit around the model and inspect the offset, recess, chamfer and fillet from several angles. You can then continue modeling or export the part as STL.
