 Hi leo!

  What  exactly you are getting ?Are the box with wrong dimensions or they are not appearing  on the screen at all? Did you build and add your object3d primitive. Example-
 cube = Primitives.getCube(10);
 cube.build();
 world.addObject(cube);

Also check your camera so that it sees the box in case if it is not visible.
 cam.lookAt(cube.getTransformedCenter());
Also check that your camera is far enough .....
i.e it should be not inside the box .

The wiki has example code to create a cube. It shouldn't be too hard to modify it in a way that it creates arbitrary boxes.
