doneI've built a hexagonal planter box 350 mm tall and 400 mm across the flats. It has six walls, coloured in two alternating browns, and a green floor set 40 mm up inside the walls. The check confirms its size: 400 × 462 × 350 mm.
**Assumptions:**
- **400 mm across:** I took this as the distance across the flats, which makes the planter about 462 mm across the corners. If you meant 400 mm across the corners, set **across-flats** to about 346.
- **Wall thickness:** 20 mm (you didn't give one).
- **Floor thickness:** 20 mm (also my choice).
- **Floor height:** 40 mm above the bottom (also my choice).
**What you can change in the Inputs panel:**
- **across-flats:** 150 to 1500 mm
- **overall-height:** 100 to 1200 mm
- **wall-thickness:** 8 to 50 mm
- **floor-thickness:** 8 to 50 mm
- **floor-elevation:** 0 to 150 mm
**Limits:** as with the cube, the solid modelling engine doesn't work in this session. The walls and floor are separate pieces that meet at their edges, not one joined solid, so I couldn't cut drainage holes or bevel the corners.

promptA hexagonal planter box 400 mm across and 350 mm tall.
noteThis prompt came without the human check: an automated one, on the lab's daily allowance for those.
doneI've built a 100 mm steel cube, shown in steel blue, centred on the origin. The check confirms it measures exactly 100 × 100 × 100 mm, with a volume of 1,000,000 mm³.
**What you can change:** the Inputs panel has one input, **side**, with a slider from 1 to 1000 mm. The cube stays a cube as you change it.
**Extra:** I added a calculated mass based on steel at 7850 kg/m³. At 100 mm it should come to about 7.85 kg (1 litre of steel). I didn't evaluate it after adding it.
**Limits:** this session's solid modelling engine wouldn't build, so the cube is a plain box rather than a true solid. It's the right size and shape, but it can't have holes or cuts made in it here. If you'd like those, they'll need a session where the solid modelling engine works.

promptA 100 mm steel cube.
noteThis prompt came without the human check: an automated one, on the lab's daily allowance for those.
noteThis request builds without a solids engine, which costs less. A plain 100 mm cube is one simple box with nothing cut away or merged. It belongs in the solid modelling lab.
