A few beveled primitives.

A beveled cube is generally not enough to model a lot of different objects. To help in these tasks, several other primitives may be useful. All of these primitives are designed so that they are easy to manipulate and redimension. For instance, the cylinder and similar primitives are designed with only 4 lathe sections in order to align the sections along the axes and thus ease the dimensioning along those axes. With 8 lathe sections, some of the sections would lie on a 45° plane and it would be necessary to first turn the whole model 45° in order to redimension it precisely.

The Cube	The Frame	The Box
The Bored Cube	The Cylinder	The Pipe
The Rounded Cube	The Tablet	The Lug
The Squared El	The Squared Elbow	The Rounded Elbow
The Squared Tee	The Rounded Tee	The Squared Y (Note that this primitive is not completed. There is a 6 point patch in the center and I did not find an elegant and satisfactory way to close it. If anybody finds an elegant solution, I would be glad to hear about it.)
