| Edge | The line between each pair of vertices. |
| Element | A group of contiguous faces found in an object. |

| Pivot | A point about which an object is rotated or scaled. |
| Polygon | A group of two or more adjacent faces that lie on the same plane. See figure in Edge. |
| Spinners | Spinners are up and down arrows. |
| Spline | Is a type of curve that is interpolated between two endpoints and two or more tangent vectors. |
| Vertex | A corner of a face. See figure in Edge. |
| Quad menu | A menu which appears when you right click on a object in for example the top viewport. |
