ABSTRACT

In this lesson you’ll learn about shapes. The shape is a linear object type that can form an open or closed area. Shapes are mostly used in 2D graphics but can also be defined in three dimensions. You can use shapes as building blocks for 3D geometry with modifiers like Lathe, Bevel, and Extrude. Compound objects such as Loft and ShapeMerge also use 2D shapes to build 3D objects.
