Shape Operator
Particle View on page 2811 > Click Shape in an event or add a Shape operator
to the particle system and then select it.
Shape is the default operator for defining the geometry used in the particle
system. You can use it to specify particles in the shape of pyramids, cubes,
spheres, or vertices, as well as particle size.
NOTE All primitive particles created with Shape have pivot points in their geometric
centers.

Interface
Shape Sets the shape of the particles to Vertex or one of three geometric
primitives. Default=Pyramid.
Vertex Use this option to create non-rendering particles whose sole
attribute is their location. This can be useful when using script operators.
