It depends on what shape you are trying to achieve.
You are limited to the sliders that are in the interface. But with prim torture, we've been able to come up with some pretty astounding shapes.
So... what shape are you looking for?

You can start with a cylindar or a torus and use "Cut start" and "Cut end" to make a part of a curve.
See the Ivory tower of prims.

If you create a long prim like one piece of hair that is flexible and swaying in the wind, then how do you freeze it into a long wierdly curved prim?

From: Kratax Skillman If you create a long prim like one piece of hair that is flexible and swaying in the wind, then how do you freeze it into a long wierdly curved prim? I don't believe you can. Flexiprims are a clientside effect, controlled by the local viewer. The server doesn't see it any differently as a rigid prim. Its parameters haven't changed. |

instead, look at the taper and cut functions on toruses.

Curved Cylinder

I have a cylinder, and I'd like to flare the top and bottom so that the middle is smaller -- sort of an hour glass effect -- any suggestions?
