# Cube Object

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Cube primitive** in **Cinema 4D**, the most basic parametric object. Adjustable dimensions, segmentation and optional filleted edges make it the starting point for countless hard-surface models.

This command creates, by default, a cube whose sides are parallel to the coordinate axes of the world system. You can create many arbitrary cuboids by adjusting the various options. Rounded edges are optional.

# Interactive editing

The cube has three handles:

- Drag handle 1 to change the width (X)

- Drag handle 2 to change the height (Y)

- Drag handle 3 to change the depth (Z)

  To re-size the cube interactively in the Viewport, drag its handles.

If you enable the **Fillet** option, three further handles appear:

- Drag handles 4, 5 or 6 to change the fillet radius.

  Additional handles of the cube primitive appear when Fillet is enabled.
