Shape
The Shape tool places geometric primitives — cuboids, spheres, cylinders, toruses, and many more — with interactive gizmo controls for position, rotation, and scale. RMB places the anchor; then drag gizmos to resize, rotate, and reposition before confirming.
Controls
| Input |
Action |
| RMB (when inactive) |

| LMB drag (rotation gizmo) |
Rotate the shape |
| LMB drag (scale gizmo) |
Scale the shape on a plane |
| LMB drag (view-plane gizmo) |
Move the shape on the camera-facing plane |
| RMB (when active) |

When enabled, only the shell is placed |
| Keep existing |
When enabled, existing solid blocks are not replaced |
| Exponent |
Surface exponent for Supersphere/Superellipse (0.5–10) |
| Separate axes |
Unlock independent X/Z scaling for shapes that default to uniform axes |
| Torus ring radius |
Radius of the torus ring (1–32) |
| Torus tube radius |
Radius of the torus tube (1–16) |
| Tube wall thickness |
Shell thickness for the Tube shape (1–16) |
| Polygon sides |
Number of sides for Regular Polygon (3–32) |
| Spiral spacing |
Gap between spiral arms for Archimedean Spiral (0.5–10) |
| Spiral turns |
Number of turns for Archimedean Spiral (1–20) |
Tips
- Hold the shape gizmo on the center handle to move the whole shape freely.
- Hollow + large shapes produce arches, domes, and tubes efficiently.
- Supersphere with exponent 1 is an octahedron; exponent 2 is a sphere; exponent 10 approaches a cube.
