GET PRIMITIVE

Octahedron

 

The Get->Primitive commands are available in all modules except Tools. They let you define primitive objects which are basic objects with a fixed geometric structure.

For detailed descriptions of polygon mesh objects, curves, and surfaces, as well as the modelling tasks you can perform with them, see the Modelling User's Guide.

The Get->Octahedron command creates an octahedron, which is a closed 3D polygon mesh object with eight sides.

  1. Choose the Get->Octahedron command.

    The Create Octahedron dialogue box is displayed.
  2. Set the Radius which defines the size of the octahedron in SOFTIMAGE units. The range is [0, ]. This is most easily seen in the Top window.
