All SL primitives are an extruded profile (square, circle, triangle, semi-circle) with profile transforms (cut, hollow, cut) along some path (line, circle), with transforms along that path (scale, twist, skew, adv cut) .

I was told the reason that spheres couldn't be flexy was because spheres weren't created by extrusion like prisms/pyramids or cylinders/cones. If they are an extrusion along a path, then why can't that path be "flexed" the same way? |

Short answer: because linear paths are open and circular paths are closed. We don't have support for closed flexible paths, only open ones.
