# CZML Box

- "box": `{ "dimensions": { "cartesian": [width, depth, height] },
"material": { "solidColor": { "color": { "rgba": [r,g,b,a] } } }, "fill": true|false,
"outline": true|false, "outlineColor": { "rgba": [r,g,b,a] }, "outlineWidth": <number>,
"show": true|false }` — a closed rectangular cuboid centered on the entity's "position".
  "dimensions" is `[X, Y, Z]` in meters (width, depth, height).
- For a wireframe-only box (outline, no fill), set `"fill": false` and `"outline": true`.
- For a translucent fill, use a low "rgba" alpha (e.g. `128`).

## Example: three boxes — solid, translucent-outlined, and wireframe-only
