Making New ObjectsΒΆ

There are three ways to make a new shape:

  1. Compounding two or more existing objects:

  2. Constructing a new shape from vertices, triangles, and quads:

  3. Extruding a 2D shape along a 3D path:

The shapes and paths libraries can be used with extrusion to make complex objects.

Duplicating Objects

Once an object has been created, a copy of it can be made with clone
