# Area
The **Area** element is one of the most widely used container components in 3D scenes. It is commonly used to create bases, walls, display panels, or custom region markers.
Unlike a standard cube, the Area component provides more refined **border control and corner rounding options**, making it especially suitable for scenes that require a stronger 2D design aesthetic.

## Special Parameters
#### Shape Parameters
* **Length**\
Defines the size of the area along the **X-axis** (left-to-right distance), determining the horizontal dimension of the area.
Default value: 2.5
Adjustable range: `0.1 ~ unlimited`
* **Width**\
Defines the size of the area along the **Z-axis** (front-to-back distance), determining the depth of the area.
Default value: 2.5
Adjustable range: `0.1 ~ unlimited`
* **Thickness**\
Defines the size of the area along the **Y-axis** (bottom-to-top distance), controlling the vertical thickness of the area.\
Default value: 0
Adjustable range: `0 ~ 1`
* **Radius**\
Applies rounded corners to the edges of the area. The value determines the radius of the arc used for rounding. The larger values create smoother, more rounded edges. When the value is 0 , it results in a standard rectangular plane.
Default value: 0
Adjustable range: `0 ~ 10`
***
#### Border
* **Border Visible**\
A toggle switch that controls whether the area displays an outline along its edges.
Default: Enabled
* **Color**\
Sets the border color using the color picker.
* **Size**\
Adjusts the thickness of the border line.
Default value: 0.03
Adjustable range: `0 ~ 0.1`
* **Dashed Line**\
A toggle switch that converts the border into a dashed line style.
Default: Disabled

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.icraft.design/editor-features/resource-panel/basic-graphics/area.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
