There are 22 parametric shape types. Parameters, value ranges, how to draw them and practical tips live on each shape's own page.

Primitives

Shape	kind	Summary
Box	`box`	Six-sided box with width, depth, height and per-axis segments
Sphere	`sphere`	UV sphere divided by longitude and latitude
Icosphere	`icosphere`	Icosahedron-based sphere with evenly sized triangles
Cylinder	`cylinder`	Cylinder; a prism at low segment counts
Capsule	`capsule`	Cylindrical body with a hemispherical cap at each end
Cone	`cone`	Cone; a pyramid at low segment counts
Regular Polyhedron	`regpoly`	The five Platonic solids
Wedge	`wedge`	Triangular prism (ramp) with one raised edge
Superellipsoid	`superellipsoid`	Cube ↔ ellipsoid ↔ star through two exponents
Gear	`gear`	Spur gear with teeth, pressure angle and bore

Shape	kind	Summary
Torus	`torus`	Donut from a ring radius plus a section radius
Pipe	`pipe`	Hollow cylinder with inner and outer radii

Shape	kind	Summary
Room	`room`	Hollow room with wall thickness
Stair	`stair`	Straight staircase; step count from step height
Spiral Stair	`spiralstair`	Helical staircase from a center radius and sweep
Arch	`arch`	Arch extruded from a rectangular-section arc
Dome	`dome`	Hemisphere closed with a flat base

Shape	kind	Summary
NURBS Surface	`nurbs`	Free-form surface from a control point grid
Quad Strip	`quadstrip`	Ribbon flowing along a curve
N-gon	`ngon`	Flat polygon or extruded prism

Shape	kind	Summary
Layout	`layout`	Mesh-less AABB box; the anchoring reference for children

Shape	kind	Summary
3D Text	—	3D text extruded from a string (Inspector-only)

The size parameters shared across shapes, with their script keys. Per-shape meanings and ranges are on each shape's page.

Script key	Canonical name	Usual meaning
`w`	`width`	Size along local X
`d`	`depth`	Size along local Z
`h`	`height`	Size along local Y
`r`	`radius`	Radius
`r1` · `r2`	`radius1` · `radius2`	Outer and inner (or section) radius
`th`	`thickness`	Thickness
`sh` · `sw`	`stepheight` · `stepwidth`	Step height and stair width
`ang`	`angle`	Angle
`seg` · `sides` · `rings`	`segments` · `sides` · `rings`	Segment counts

Changing the type in the Inspector's Shape Type grid keeps the GameObject and its transform and rebuilds only the form.

Parameter values are preserved. Parameters the new type does not use simply sit unused, and they come back if you switch to that type again.
Values outside the new type's allowed range are clamped automatically.
To return to defaults, use Reset in the component's right-click menu — it reinitializes everything to the current type's defaults.
