VERTEX_WEIGHT_PROXIMITY Vertex Weight Proximity – Set the vertex group weights based on the distance to another target object.
ARRAY Array – Create copies of the shape with offsets.
BEVEL Bevel – Generate sloped corners by adding geometry to the mesh’s edges or vertices.
BOOLEAN Boolean – Use another shape to cut, combine or perform a difference operation.
BUILD Build – Cause the faces of the mesh object to appear or disappear one after the other over time.

MULTIRES Multiresolution – Subdivide the mesh in a way that allows editing the higher subdivision levels.
REMESH Remesh – Generate new mesh topology based on the current shape.
SCREW Screw – Lathe around an axis, treating the input mesh as a profile.
SKIN Skin – Create a solid shape from vertices and edges, using the vertex radius to define the thickness.
SOLIDIFY Solidify – Make the surface thick.
SUBSURF Subdivision Surface – Split the faces into smaller parts, giving it a smoother appearance.
TRIANGULATE Triangulate – Convert all polygons to triangles.
