## Examples

```python
model2d.add_polygons([[[2,0],[5,0],[5,5],[3,5]]])                       #Add polygon
a = model2d.select([0,0],[3,3],types=['face'],option='green')           #Select face
model2d.rotate(shapes=a,base_point=[2,0],angle=45)                      #Rotate polygon
model3d.add_rectangle([0,0,0],[3,3,0])                                  #Add rectangle
a = model3d.select([1,1,0],types=['face'])                              #Select face
model3d.rotate(shapes=a,base_point=[0,0,0],angle=45,direction=[1,0,0])  #Rotate face
model3d.add_prism(points=[[-1,-1,0],[-3,-3,0],[-3,0,0]],height=3)
a = model3d.select([-2,-2,1],types=['volume'])
