Sphere3D

The Sphere3D provides an excellent starting point for organic shapes.

Cube3D

The Cube3D is a simple geometric cube. Using the Initialize sub-palette, you can define shapes with more than 4 sides. You can also twist this object so it’s screw-shaped.

Cylinder3D

The Cylinder3D is a simple geometric cylinder. Using the Intialize sub-palette, you can also define a hole in the cylinder to create a pipe.

Cone3D

The Cone3D is a simple geometric cone. Using the Initialize sub-palette, you can also define a ‘gemstone’ shape with fewer sides.

Ring3D

The Ring3D is a geometric ring shape. Using the Initialize sub-palette, you can also define partial rings which taper to a point — like claws or horns.

Plane3D

The Plane3D is a flat, square plane.

Circle3D

The Circle3D is a flat disc.

Arrow3D

The Arrow3D is an arrow which can be pointed in any direction. Using the Initialize sub-palette, you can customize an arrow of any shape.

Spiral3D

The Spiral3D is a snail-like shape that can be described using sliders.

Helix3D

The Helix3D is a spring-like object that can be described by drawing a number of profiles that define its shape, profile and thickness.

Gear3D

The Gear3D is a mechanical-gear object. Using the Initialize sub-palette you can customize many details about this object’s shape.

Terrain3D

The Terrain3D enables you to define two profiles — one describes its contours from left to right, the other describes its contours from top to bottom. These modifiers are found in the Initialize sub-palette when this tool is selected.

SweepProfile3D

The SweepProfile3D enables you to draw a profile outline, and ‘lathe’ that profile around an axis. This modifier is found in the Initialize sub-palette when this tool is selected.Sphereinder3D

The Sphereinder3D is a unique sausage-shaped object whose dimensions and curvature can be defined using the Initialize sub-palette.
