    Primitive dialog

    Use the primitive dialog to specify dimensions and the workspace of primitive surfaces or solids. The name of the dialog, and the options available, depend on the type of primitive you are editing.

    To edit a primitive using the dialog:

    1. Double-click the primitive you want to edit to display the dialog. For example, double-click a primitive block.
    2. Use the tabs of the dialog to specify the Dimensions and Workspace of the primitive.
