Creating Primitives

---

Primitives are the primary geometric building blocks in Bryce. You can create spheres, tori, cylinders, cubes, pyramids, cones, discs, and 2D faces.

	Creates spheres
	Creates tori
	Creates cylinders
	Creates cubes
	Creates pyramids
	Creates cones
	Creates discs
	Creates 2D faces

By default all primitives are assigned a flat gray color.

To create a geometric primitive:

• Click one of the primitive tools:

Derivative Primitives

Derivative primitives are primitive objects whose shape is "derived" from basic geometric primitives.

Derivative primitives were created so that you could skip some of the editing procedures on most of the basic primitives. For example, instead of elongating a cube to make it into a pillar, you can just use the Stretched Cube derivative. Instead of shortening a cube to make it into a rectangle, you can use the Squashed Cube derivative.

To create a stretched primitive:

• Press Shift and click the primitive tool.

To create a squashed primitive:

• Press Command/Ctrl and click the primitive tool.
