Last updated 1 year ago

In the , you will find a variety of parametric shapes under the Shape tag. You can enable additional handles by choosing the Edit Shape option on the Inspect Menu.

Cylinder Section

  • Grab the inside to change the inner radius

  • Grab the outside to change the outer radius

  • Grab the top or bottom to extend

  • Grab the ends to extend the arc of the section

Facets

How many facets to subdivide the curved surface into.

Sphere Section

  • Grab the outside to change the outer radi

  • Grab the inside to change the inner radius

  • Grab one of the edges to change the sweep angle (either latitude or longitude)

Facets

How many facets to subdivide the curved surface into.

Curved Wall

  • Grab the spline knots to control the curve of the wall

  • Grab the top to change the height

  • Grab a side to change the thickness

Bendable Pole

  • Grab the spline knots to control the curve of the pole

  • Grab with two hands to change the thickness of the pole

Stairs

  • Grab the spline knots to control the curve of the stairs

  • Grab the sides to change the offset from the curve

  • Grab the top of the top stair to change the height of the stairs

  • Grab the top of the bottom stair to change the height of each step

  • Grab the from of a step to change the step length

Convert to Sketch

Sometimes it can be useful to make more detailed edits than the parametric handles allow. Converting a shape to a sketch allows you to edit vertices, edges, and faces directly and also allowing cutting new faces and extrusion of faces.

Note that once converted to a sketch, none of the parametric handles will be available.

You can also change how the shape is constructed from the :
