Drawing Basic Shapes
This tool draws a pyramid.
This one lets you draw a torus (a ring).
And this one a shell or cup shape; that is, a hollowed out hemisphere.
This button lets you draw a complete hemisphere; that is, filled.
Curves
The curve palette offers 8 tools for drawing non-linear profiles.
These icons represent the basic tools for drawing curves. The resulting curve
can be manipulated by Bezier curves as we have seen previously. The principle
behind the tools is as follows:
Click on the drawing area to position the first point. Keeping the mouse button
pressed down, move the mouse to draw the tangent to the curve that passes
through the start point. Let go of the mouse button and move the mouse to
draw the curve.
To finish the shape, double-click on the left mouse button. This operation can
be repeated immediately starting from the newly created end point.
The shape you create will be filled or empty depending on the button you
pressed. Where the shape is filled, a segment will be drawn from the start point
to the end point. The object that results can be manipulated like any other, but
you can also play with the tangents of the object in edit points mode.
