I’m sorry but i am very new and trying to make a Crossfit style plyo box. I hame made a few other things but this one needs exact measurements and i cannot get them perfect on easel becasue there is no measuring tool.  
Here is the link to what i want to build… Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

> CrossFit Style Plyo Box (ShopBot!): This is my second attempt at a plyo box. This time in technicolor! I took a ShopBot class at TechShop and decided it would work better than the inaccuracies of the table saw and band saw.
> Materials:
> 3/4"...

Easel has a box generator app.

Hmmm, didn’t know that.  
Next easiest options:  
You can always model one in Fusion 360.  
There’s a box generator extension available for Inkscape.  
Or there are several online box generators like [ClosedBox - Boxes](https://www.festi.info/boxes.py/ClosedBox)

In Easel - not sexy but might do the trick:

- You can make one larger shape using several rectangles, centered on top of eachother - combine and subtract as need be
- You can draw single line paths and set their respective length plus input their X/Y coordinates and in that way build a complex shape

Let’s say your using 1/2 inch ply. Tell the box generator you’re using 1/8 inch ply and model your box 1/4 the size you want it. The box generator will create the sides and then your can scale everything 4 to 1.
