| Plane |
 |
| Corner |
Draw a rectangular plane surface by 2 corner points, similar to Rectangle corner.
 |
| Center |
Draw a rectangular plane surface by center and corner point, similar to Rectangle center.
 |
| 3 pts |
Draw a rectangular plane surface using 3 points, 2 points for one edge and then a 3rd point for the width. Similar to Rectangle 3 points.
 |
| Box |
 |
| Corner |
Draw a solid box, starting with a base rectangle corner to corner followed by an extrusion value.
Snaps are available to make exact squares or a cube.
 |
| Center |
Draw a solid box, starting with a base rectangle from a center point to a corner, followed by an extrusion value.
Snaps are available to make exact squares or a cube.
 |
| 3 pts |
Draw a solid box, starting with a base rectangle from 3 points, 2 points for one edge and then a 3rd point for the width, followed by an extrusion value.
Snaps are available to make exact squares or a cube.
 |
| Sphere |
Draw a solid sphere, from center and radius.
Click on the radius label with the small arrow to switch to diameter entry mode.
 |
| Cylinder |
Draw a solid cylinder, from a base center point, radius, and height.
Click on the radius label with small arrow to switch to diameter entry mode.
 |
| Cone |
Draw a solid cone, from a base center point, radius, and height.
Click on the radius label with small arrow to switch to diameter entry mode.
 |
| Text |
Create text geometry.
First pick a base point - this will become the lower left corner of the text, and the grid of the viewport that you click in will be used to orient the text. For example, if you click the base point in the front view your text will be oriented flat to the front view so it will be pointing upwards in Z.
After your base point is defined, you can then edit various options such as the text and font. You can also change the Create option to create curves or just planar surfaces instead of extruded solids.
Some elaborate fonts may have crossing or intersecting outlines which may cause problems when MoI tries to determine solid areas from holes.
