I keep forgetting to take a snapshot or something for the primitives that we can build from. Does anyone know off hand what they are? Thanks, I need to do planning before being in-world, so I can make better use of my time :p

The basic primitives are:

Box, Prism, Cylinder, Sphere, Torus, and Tube.

These basic primitives can be molded into other shapes by using the hollow, cut, twist, top size, top shear, and dimple. Only some of the moldings can be applied to each of the primitive types.

There is a small selection of 'pre-molded' primitives in the create palette to give you pyramids, tetrahedrons, hemicylinders, cones, hemicones, and hemispheres.
