Regular Grid, Width
The Regular Grid option is only available when Slice is enabled. By enabling this option and entering
a value into the Width box you can control the subdivisions within the plane of section of the sliced
object. Small values produce a ne subdivision while larger values result in a coarse structure. This
subdividing only affects the face (the plane of section) of the slice. Use this option only if you intend
to process the object further after slicing it.
Interactive editing
The tube has three handles. Drag handle 1 to change the outer radius, handle 2 to change the inner
radius or handle 3 to change the height (i.e. the tube’s length).
The handles of the tube primitive
Pyramid
This command creates a four-sided (5, if you count the base) pyramid. By default, the base of the
pyramid is parallel to the XZ plane of the world coordinate system.
