Primitive Shapes

The 'primitives' are accessed through the modeling API using the following:

const { cube, ellipse, star } = require('@jscad/modeling').primitives

2D Primitives

Primitive Notes
const mypath = arc({center: [2, 2], radius: 2, startAngle: Math.PI, endAngle: Math.PI * 2, segments: 64}) API
