Shapes

Solids

  • Bounding Box — An axis-aligned box region stretched between two points.
  • Box — An axis-aligned solid box.
  • Capsule — A solid rod with hemispherical ends: every point within the radius of the straight segment from A to B.
  • Cone — A solid cone between two points, with its own radius at each end.
  • Cube — An axis-aligned cube Solid with all sides the same length, centered on a point.
  • Cylinder — A solid cylinder around the line from a start point to an end point.
  • Ellipsoid — A solid ellipsoid: a sphere stretched to its own radius along X, Y and Z.
  • Rounded Box — An axis-aligned solid box with all edges and corners rounded.
  • Rounded Cylinder — A solid cylinder between two cap centers whose outer rim edges are rounded off.
  • Sphere — A solid ball of a given radius around a center point.
  • Torus — A solid ring (torus): a round tube bent into a circle around a center point.

2D

  • Circle — A flat disc Profile of a given radius around a center point, facing the Normal direction.
  • Curves to Profile — A flat, closed Profile outlined by one or more curves joined end to end, in the order of the rows; each curve is turned to run on from the one before it, so curves picked in either direction join.
  • Join Profiles — Combines several Profiles into one Profile covering all of them.
  • Points to Polygon — A flat, closed Profile whose corners are the listed points, in order.
  • Rectangle — A flat rectangle Profile of a given length and width around a center point.
  • Regular Polygon — A flat polygon with equal sides and equal angles, placed on a plane.
  • Slot — A flat slot Profile: a rectangle with two half-round ends, centered on a point.

Curves

  • Angle Arc — An arc made by turning a start point around an axis by an angle.
  • Arc — A circular arc that starts at Point 1, passes through Point 2 and ends at Point 3.
  • Blend Curve — A connecting curve that joins two curves at a chosen distance along each.
  • Conic Through Points — A conic arc from a start point to an end point, bent toward an apex point where its two end tangents meet.
  • Control-Point Spline — A smooth B-spline curve shaped by a list of control points.
  • Curve Frame — A coordinate frame sitting on a curve at a given distance from its start.
  • Curve Intersections — Finds every place a curve passes through a Solid's surface and returns those points as a Point List, in order along the curve.
  • Curve Point — The point on a curve at a given distance from its start, measured along the curve.
  • Divide Curve — Places points along a curve at equal spacing measured along the curve, starting at its first point.
  • Interpolated Spline — A smooth curve that passes exactly through every listed point, in order.
  • Intersection Curve — The curve where the surfaces of two Solids meet, traced numerically.
  • Join Curves — Chains curves that meet end to end into one continuous Curve.
  • Line — A straight line segment between two points.
  • Line Along Direction — A straight line segment that starts at a point and runs a given length in a given direction.
  • Mirror Curve — The mirror image of a curve across a plane.
  • Polyline — An open Curve made of straight segments joining the listed points in order.
  • Project Curve to Plane — Flattens a curve onto a plane by moving each of its points along the plane's normal.
  • Tangent Arc — A circular arc that leaves a start point in a chosen direction and ends at an end point.
  • Tangent Conic — A conic arc from a start point to an end point that leaves and arrives along given directions.
  • Tangent Spline — A smooth cubic curve that passes through every point and leaves each one along its own tangent vector.
  • Trim Curve — Cuts a curve where it crosses a Solid's surface and keeps the pieces outside the Solid (or inside, with Invert).

  • Axis — An infinite straight line with a direction, set by a point on it and a direction vector.
  • Frame — A local coordinate system: an origin plus three perpendicular axes.
  • Interpolated Point — A point on the straight line through two points, placed by a factor: 0 lands on Point 1, 1 on Point 2, 0.5 halfway.
  • Local Point — A point placed by X, Y and Z coordinates measured in a local frame instead of the world axes.
  • Offset Plane — A copy of a plane moved along its own normal by a signed distance: positive moves it the way the normal points, negative the other way.
