| Polygons | plane figures made with three or more straight sides (curves). |
| Defaults | values provided automatically by the software. |
| Boolean | create objects by combining, subtracting, or determining the common intersections of various objects such as primitives. |
| Extrusion | allows you to create a 2D shape and then extend it along a path or curve to form a 3D object. |
| Transformations | are actions that scale, rotate, and move objects |
| Scale | changes the size or proportions of an object along one or more axes. |
| Rotate | tilting or changing the direction that an object is facing. |
| Deformations | used to modify an existing shape. |
| Revolve or lathe | allow the user to create a 2D shape and then revolve it around an axis. |
| Lofting | where a series of curves (open or closed) are spaced parallel to each other, and then a surface is generated that connects the contours. |
| Copy or Clone | tools allow selected objects to be reproduced in their exact size and form. |
