Depending on your choice of graph type, the basic shape/object list available and their settings may change :

  • Cube, cylinder, cone, tube.
  • Cinema4D basic spline : ellipse, n-sided, profile (H, L, T, U, Z), flower, star, cog wheel and rectangle.
  • In order to use User spline or User Object, drag and drop the desired shape or object from the C4D object manager into the corresponding field.
    Tips :  User objects must be a single one polygonal object (no groups).
