Create a Geometric Primitive in a Single Click

By default, you create geometric primitives by drawing them in the work area.

You can also create geometric primitives in a single click. To do so, you must modify your default preferences by selecting Me > Preferences > Interactive 3DEXPERIENCE > Creative Experience > General

In the Commands section, select One click primitive creation.

Create a Geometric Primitive on Another 3D Actor

By default, geometric primitives are created on the face of another 3D actor (if there is any).

You can create a geometric primitive on the default plane and override the automatic snapping. To do so, press Ctrl while creating your geometric primitive.

In the following example, a cube is created on the face of a cylinder.
