This very short video I want to show you something about the parametric primitives and also show you how they're displayed so let me make a cylinder and if we look over in the attribute panel and we see a couple attributes height segments of rotation segments and if you look at the display in the viewport there's there's no segments all right so what you got to do is in the viewport menu here click display and the default is this is called guro shading which is just the default how it's viewed as a great object there's other displays we can use but in this course or pretty much kinda use the guro shading and drew shading guro shading with lines so choose grow shading with lines and now we see we got lines so let's check out our attribute panel again our attribute manager again height segments is one rotation segments is 36 of the rotation segments are all these segments on the top of the cylinder and if I increase the height segments to 3 you see I got one two three segments excuse me what else I want to show you here oh the other thing with this display again we we're gonna use grow in shading aggro shading with lines you can access that quickly by hitting the letter N and for Nevada on the keyboard and then you'll see the options for the different displays you can use in fact sometimes we're going to use wireframe actually in this course but anyway so I hit the letter n that I think you can just look the little little readout there and it gives you all the options so I hit the letter A and I went back to my default shading so a couple of just to review here we're talking about different displays the guro shading with lines allows you to look in the attribute manager and look at height segments and rotation segments and you can change height and rotation segments you know to any whole number value that you want and the other parametric primitives like the sphere the cube is cetera et cetera they they all have similar parameters where you can change the segments
