The more segments the object has, the more precision you're able to model with. The detail, or the resolution, adds smoothness to the figure. In some cases, you will be able to change the overall resolution of the model, and in others, you will have to set the detail in all dimensions. Just like with the Size, the number, and names of settings dedicated to setting up the level of the detail will differ between shapes. You can also customize the detail, or the resolution, of the object. It's important to note that by typing the values, you are able to set the size of the object beyond what is possible with the slider the reason is that the slider needs a finite point, while when typing, you are only restricted by the size of the grid. You can choose the object's dimensions by either moving the slider to manipulate the values or by typing the values directly into the textboxes. Those based on circles, like spheres, cylinders, and so on, will have settings pertaining to the Radius of the object, while shape like a Cube will have settings of the Width, Depth, and Height. The number and names of settings dedicated to the Size will differ between different 3D Shapes. How big do you want your model to be? That's the question the Size setting is going to answer. Of course, you will still be able to modify your shapes with the help of other tools, but the settings explained in this article can be accessed only when adding new Shapes. It's important to note that once you finish this process, you won't be able to get back to those settings. You can set here the properties such as size, detail, arc and fill, position, and rotation. Contrary to the previous method, here you can customize your Shape even before it will be added to the grid. By doing so, you will open the Tool Settings panel on the left side of the screen, which will contain all of the unique settings available for the chosen shape. The second way to add Shapes to the workspace is by clicking on the chosen shape in the drop-down list. It's the quickest way to add shapes, but the downside of this method is that your shape will be created with its default 3D properties, and it will skip the customization process unique to the selected model. The first option is to simply select the shape you want to add from the drop-down list and drag it to any place on the grid. Let's start with adding Shapes to the workspace.
