Primitive Factory

Menu / Icon

This tool is accessible via the 'File > Primitive factory' menu or the icon in the upper main toolbar.

Description

The Primitive Factory lets you create primitive objects (planes, spheres, boxes, etc.).

File > Primitive factory

You can choose the primitive type by selecting the right tab (Plane, Box, Sphere, Cylinder, Cone, Torus and Dish). For the selected primitive, you can edit its parameters (mainly dimensions) then create it by clicking on the 'Create' button. The process can be repeated several types (you can change the primitive type as well) until you close the factory with the 'Close' button.

Notes:

• optionally you can also set the initial precision (i.e. the amount of triangles of the tessellated version of the primitive). However this parameter can be freely changed later in the primitive parameters
• primitives are defined along the main axes (X, Y and Z) by default. However you can apply a rigid transformation to it afterwards with the Apply transformation method.
