How to change parameters?

Decided to give blender a try but instead of quick start guides going back to basics.

So open’d up blender 2.56 and Add>Mesh>Cube.
This is when i ran into my first problem, were on earth is the Parameter Settings for this cube ?.

Parameters such as in the following
Scale/Radius
Height,Width,Length
Height,Width,Length Sigments

Aren’t these basicly needed by any cad program in order to speed up modeling , or are they hidden and I’m just unable to find them ?.:confused:

When you add an object look at the bottom of the toolshelf (T) for the parameters you can adjust when you add it initially, Blender does not use parametric objects.
For other parameters such as rotation, scale, dimensions look in the properties panel (N)

Thanks found Scale,Rotation and even Dimensions on the Properties Panel with the N key like you mention.
Sadly under Tool Bar all i found is settings such as the following
Smooth,Tranform,Duplicate,Delete,Clone etc but no Sigments setting?.

On the bonus found Transform settings when selecting verts etc, this is very handy for me in future :wink:

As I said you will only see the info here just immediately after you have added your object. Do any other actions and it will go.

I did notice that stight away when opening Edit Mode, anyhow deleted and create a new cube and still unable to find the Sigments :frowning:

Try’ed creating other shapes like Cylinder and these shapes have Sigments but very poor at that, why has a cube got no Sigments ?.
Should be able to create Height,Width and Length Sigments its very basic.

Does any one know how to change the Sigments ?, it should be something very simple to do after all its just basic’s.

I created a image for a example.

In the Image it has the following Sigments.
2 Height Sigments
3 Width Sigments
4 Length Sigments

Also would like to point out that yes you can do this manual but would it not be a lot faster to a work flow if these was in the settings for the object.
