The `Enum.PartType` enum controls the shape value, and has five possible
shapes:

| Shape/Value | Description |
| ----------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Ball | A spherical shape, like a basketball. |
| Cylinder | A rod-like shape, like a tin can. |
| Block | The default, brick shape. |
| Wedge | A wedge shape with a slope on one side. |
| CornerWedge | A wedge shape with slopes on two sides. |
| Shape/Value | Description |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| Ball | A spherical shape. |
| Block | A block shape. |
| Cylinder | A cylinder shape. |
| Wedge | A wedge shape with a slope on one side. |
| CornerWedge | A wedge shape with slopes on two sides. |

Note that `Class.MeshPart` and
`Class.MeshPart` and
[solid modeling](../../../parts/solid-modeling.md) can be used to obtain
completely custom part shapes.

Collisions between balls, blocks, and wedges, and corner wedges are exact, whereas collisions between terrain, cylinders, TriangleMeshes, and other geometry types are approximations.
This means that the ball shape can be useful to create stable colliders for car wheels.
