A cone along the object’s local Z axis. Cap sets the size of its top, from a point to a cylinder, and its rims can be rounded.
Settings
| Setting | Default | Range | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cap | 0 | 0 – 1 (soft 0.9) | The top radius as a share of the base: 0 a point, 1 a cylinder |
| Profile | Round | Round · Sharp · Soft · Tight · Chamfer | The shape of the edge rounding, see Profiles |
| Rounding | 0 | ≥ 0 (soft 2) | Rounds the rims |
| Smooth (Chamfer) | 0 | ≥ 0 (soft 0.5) | Rounds the seams where the chamfer meets the faces |
The rows every shape has are in Properties Panels.
