## Object Properties

### Radius

Parameter ID: `PRIM_CAPSULE_RADIUS` · Range: [0..+∞m]

Defines the object's radius and the cap's radius.

### Height

Parameter ID: `PRIM_CAPSULE_HEIGHT` · Range: [0..+∞m]

The overall height of the capsule including the caps.

### Height Segments

Parameter ID: `PRIM_CAPSULE_HSUB` · Range: [1..1000]

The number of subdivisions of the capsule in its lengthwise direction (cylindrical part only).

### Cap Segments

Parameter ID: `PRIM_CAPSULE_FSUB` · Range: [1..1000]

Defines the number of subdivisions of the cap in a radial direction. The subdivision along the cap's circumference is given by Rotation Segments.

### Rotation Segments

Parameter ID: `PRIM_CAPSULE_SEG` · Range: [3..1000]

The number of subdivisions of the capsule around its circumference. The greater this value, the more rounded the cap appears.

Capsules with different segment values.

### Orientation

Parameter ID: `PRIM_AXIS`

These options define the direction in which the object will "point". Using these options it is easier - and faster - to rotate the object (without rotating the object coordinate system as well).
