On Web, forms can be resized, moved above the floor, customized with materials, and rotated in 2D or freely around multiple axes in 3D.
A subscription is required to access the full selection of Forms.
How to add a Magic Cube to your project
Open your project.
Select Build from the left-side menu.
Select Forms.
Choose the form you want to add.
The current Forms section includes several basic shapes, such as a box, sphere, cone, cylinder, and pyramid.
Select a form to add it to your project. You can then move and customize it like other project objects.
The Magic Cube can be used as a base for different custom elements by changing its proportions, position, materials, and rotation.

How to change the size
Select the form to display its controls at the bottom of the Editor.
In the standard editing mode, you can adjust:
Width
Depth
Height
Levitation
Angle
Use Width, Depth, and Height to change the proportions of the form. For example, the same box can be reshaped into a thin panel, a larger block, or another simple structure.
Enter the required value directly into a field to make a precise adjustment.
Use Levitation [up/down arrows] to raise or lower the form relative to the floor. You can also use the up/down control displayed next to the selected object to change its vertical position.
How to move Magic Cube
To change where the form is placed:
Select the form.
Click and hold to drag it to the required position in the project.
You can also click on the object and use arrows on the keyboard to move the Magic Cube.
Use Levitation when you need to move it above the floor.
This makes it possible to use forms for elements that should not sit directly on the floor, such as suspended or raised structures.
How to change materials
You can customize the appearance of a form separately from its size and position.
Select the form.
Click the paint roller icon.
Choose the part of the form you want to customize.
Select a material category.
Choose the texture you want to apply.

For the box form, the Materials panel provides separate areas for:
Top
Bottom
Left
Right
Front
Back
All
This allows you to work with individual sides of the form instead of applying the same appearance everywhere.
After selecting a texture, you can also adjust:
Tint Color
Texture scale
Texture rotation
How to rotate Magic Cube in 2D
When 3-Axis rotation is turned off, the bottom controls include a single Angle value.
Select the form.
Enter the required value in Angle, or use the rotation control displayed next to the object.
Adjust the form until it is positioned as needed on the plan.
Rotate and tilt a form in 3D
For more precise positioning, switch to 3D and use 3-Axis rotation.
Switch the project to 3D view.
Select the form.
Turn on 3-Axis rotation in the bottom controls.
The single Angle field is replaced by:
Angle X
Angle Y
Angle Z
Enter exact values in the fields, or use the rotation controls around the selected form to rotate it visually.
With 3-Axis rotation enabled, you can orient the form freely around the X, Y, and Z axes.
When using the visual rotation controls, the selected form displays rotation guides. Drag the required guide to tilt the object, and use Reset if you want to return the rotation values to their default position.
Duplicate or delete a form
When a form is selected, quick actions appear around it.
Use the duplicate action when you want to create another copy of the same form, or the trash icon to remove it from the project.
Duplicating a customized form can be useful when building repeated structures from several identical pieces.

What can you create with Forms?
Because you can independently adjust dimensions, height above the floor, materials, and rotation, basic forms can be combined to create more complex elements.
Examples from the original Magic Cube feature include:
Custom furniture
Partitions
Suspended ceilings
Mezzanine elements
Walls or structures of different heights
