Creating an initial cube with exact measurements/ratios

Hey peeps, I’ve been tasked by a client to create a very detailed and ornament rich wooden fireplace mantle. I want to create it via zbrush and then export it in sections for cnc work. I have the exact measurements and ratios which the mantle is supposed to have.

And the problem is, I want to have an initial simple cube with those exact measurements and ratios around which I can build the mantle from subtools etc. I know that when exporting from zbrush I can give the object measurements in cm, inches etc. but can’t find a way to give the initial cube the measurements I need in the first place.

Is there a way in zbrush to create a cube with the measurements I need or do I have to create the cube in another program and then import it to zbrush with the measurements applied and then start my work?

Any help will be much appreciated!! :slight_smile:

You can try Joseph Drusts’ “ZBrush to CNC Machine” plugin. You can download it here.
