1. A computer-implemented method for performing three-dimensional (3D) modeling comprising:
- (a) activating, in a 3D modeling application executing on a multi-touch device, a modeling tool;
(b) receiving an input touch event for creating a new 3D geometric form;
(c) receiving an input gesture on the multi-touch device; and
(d) dynamically, in real-time as the input gesture is received, creating and displaying the new 3D geometric form, wherein a shape of the new 3D geometric form corresponds to the input gesture.

Abstract
A method, apparatus, system, and computer-readable storage device is configured to perform three-dimensional (3D) modeling. A modeling tool is activated in a 3D modeling application executing on a multi-touch device. An input touch event and input gesture for creating a new 3D geometric form is received. Dynamically, in real-time as the input gesture is received, the new 3D geometric form is created and displayed. The shape of the new 3D geometric form corresponds to the input gesture.
