The Rounded Box node
When to use it
A box with softly rounded corners, and the primitive most boolean modelling should start from. The corner radius gives Smooth Union something even to work with, which a sharp Box does not.
A small Round Radius reads as machined. A large one reads as a pill.
The radius eats into the extents rather than adding to them, so a rounded box is never bigger than the box you asked for.
