* Square (rectangle), circle, polygon

* Cube (rectangular prism), sphere, cylinder, polyhedron
* <tt>cube</tt> (rectangular prism), <tt>sphere</tt>, <tt>cylinder</tt>, <tt>polyhedron</tt>


<tt>circle</tt> and <tt>cylinder</tt> are approximated using the <tt>fn</tt> system variable. Low values of <tt>fn</tt> can be used to generate regular polygons. A cylinder can have different radii at its top and bottom. A right pentagonal frustrum, for instance, can be generated with <tt>cylinder</tt> using <tt>fn=5</tt>.
