Subdivision Primitives

Select the object’s shape; the object preview adjusts to show the shape selected

Size

For all shapes except torus and ring, enter the size of the mesh cage

Major Radius

For the torus and ring shapes, enter the major radius

Minor Radius

For the torus and ring shapes, enter the minor radius

Segments on Major Axis

For the torus and ring shapes, enter the number of segments on the major axis; the number must be greater than 2

Segments on Minor Axis

For the torus shape, enter the number of segments on the minor axis; the number must be greater than 2

Subdivision Iteration

Select the density of subdivision mesh faces per cage face; this affects modeling speed and also final export quality. It can be edited later from the Object Info palette.

An iteration setting of 0 creates one subdivision mesh face per cage face; this is equivalent to polygon modeling. An iteration setting of 1 creates 4 subdivision mesh faces per cage face; 2 creates 16; 3 creates 64; 4 creates 256; and 5 creates 1024.
