Adding a box

When you click on the Add box button or press CTRL-K a default box object is added in the center of the world. At the same time, a 'Box' dropdown button is added in the control panel. You can change the size of the box, or the number of subdivision by changing the values there.
If you edit faces, edges or vertices of the box, the object is automatically converted to mesh object. After, the object is no longer considered by ppModeler as a box object, and the 'Box' dropdown button won't be displayed any more when you select the object.
