# Shapes and Goop

The shapes you can add, how to move and resize them, and how Goop blends shapes together.

**Use this when:** you add a shape, change its type or size, or want shapes to blend smoothly.

**Don't use this for:** cutting or masking shapes, or reflecting them. Read Form and Mirror.

*A selected shape shows handles on the canvas and its settings in the inspector on the right.*

## Add a shape

1. Press `O` (`Open objects menu`), or click `Add objects` (+) at the top of the scene list.
2. Choose a filter: `All`, `Objects`, `Curves`, `Mesh imports`, `Smart templates`, `Community` or `Projects`.
3. Click a shape. Womp adds it to the scene.

| Shape | Plan |
| --- | --- |
| `Cube`, `Cylinder`, `Sphere`, `Cone` | Free |
| `Pyramid`, `Torus` | Pro |

New projects also offer `Ellipsoid`, `Capsule`, `Link`, `Hexagon`, `Triangular` and `Octahedron`. These are Pro. Some older projects do not show them. Pro shapes show the Pro mark. See [Credits and plans](https://womp.com/docs/plans.md).

The `Curves` filter has `Default` (`Shift + C`), `Droplet`, `Square`, `S shaped`, `Donut` and `W - Helix`.

To add 3D text, choose `Text` in the objects menu, or press `Shift + T`. Text is in alpha. `Intersect` is not available for text.

## Change the shape type

Select a shape. At the top of the `Object` tab in the inspector, click another shape. You can also right-click the object and choose `Replace with`. The position, size and other settings stay the same.

## Move, rotate and resize

Select an object. Handles appear around it on the canvas.

- **Move:** drag an arrow to move along one axis, or drag a disc to move on a flat plane.
- **Copy while you move:** hold `Alt/⌥` when you start to drag a move handle.
- **Rotate:** drag a rotation handle. Drag inside the dial to snap in 22.5° steps. Hold `Shift` to snap in 45° steps.
- **Resize:** drag a scale handle. Hold `Shift` to keep the proportions. Hold `Alt/⌥` to scale both sides equally.
- **Round the edges:** drag the roundness handle near a corner.

To type exact values, use `Position`, `Rotation` and `Size` in the `Object` tab. When `Global` is on, the values are relative to the centre of the canvas. When it is off, they are relative to the centre of the parent area or union.

`Roundness` (0 to 100) rounds sharp edges. It is not available for `Sphere`, `Torus`, `Link`, `Ellipsoid` and `Capsule`.

## Goop

![The inspector with a cube selected: Form (Shape, Combine, Goop, Roundness), Material, and Transform (Position, Rotation, Size).](/docs/images/ui/inspector-object.webp#narrow)

*The `Object` tab of the inspector. `Goop` sits under `Form`; drag its slider or type a value. Shapes with a crown need Pro.*


Goop blends objects that are close to each other, like clay. Where objects with different materials meet, Goop also blends the materials.

1. Select an object.
2. In the `Object` tab, drag the `Goop` slider, or type a value.
3. Higher values make a wider, softer blend. The slider range grows with the size of the object.

Rules:

- Goop works only between objects in the same area or union.
- The first object in an area or union cannot goop. Its `Goop` slider is off. Move the object lower in the list to use it. See [Scene list](https://womp.com/docs/make/scene-list.md).

## Use instead

- **Wrong move:** raising `Goop` on the first object in an area or union. **Why:** the first object has nothing above it, so its `Goop` slider is off. **Right move:** move the object lower in the scene list, or goop the object below it.
- **Wrong move:** expecting two objects in different areas to blend. **Why:** Goop works only inside one area or union. **Right move:** drag both objects into the same area.
- **Wrong move:** offering a Free user a `Torus` or `Pyramid`. **Why:** only `Cube`, `Cylinder`, `Sphere` and `Cone` are free. **Right move:** use a free shape, or see [Credits and plans](https://womp.com/docs/plans.md) for Pro.
