The rows every shape has are in [Properties Panels](../../interface/panels.md#rows-every-shape-has).

## Create mode

The [Chisel tool](../../interface/active-tool.md)'s *Create* mode with Shape **Capsule** draws one: it starts where you press and grows as you drag.

## Redo panel

After adding, the redo panel (`F9`) has:

| Setting | Default | Range | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Radius** | `1` | > 0 | Radius of the body and the ends |
| **Depth** | `2` | ≥ 0 | Length of the straight middle: the capsule is Depth + 2 × Radius tall |
| **Align** | *World* | *World* · *View* · *3D Cursor* | Rotation of the new shape |
