Vertices

• In geometry, a vertices is a special kind of
  point which describes the corners or
  intersections of geometric shapes. Vertices are
  commonly used in computer graphics to define the
  corners of surfaces typically triangles in 3D
  models, where each such point is given as a
  vector.
• The vertex of an angle is the point where two
  lines begin or meet, where two lines cross,
  segments and lines that result in two straight
  sides meeting at one place.

Edges

• An edge is a line between to vertices. The more
  edges you have the more vertices then the more
  faces which creates a more complex shape.

4
Faces

• the face on a shape are the main things that help
  you see the object when its complete.
• The faces are used to show detail in the shape
  which you can add texture to.

5
Polygons

• All 3D models are made up of either triangle or
  polygons. The reason Polygons and triangles are
  used is because these shapes fit together to make
  the 3D shape.

6
Meshes

• A mesh is a group of faces, edges and vertices.
  These make up the shape when 3D modelling.
• The meshes help you manipulate the 3D objects to
  help you create complex shapes.

2D co-ordinates

• 2D co-ordinates are used to make up a 2d shape.
  The axis used to plot 2d coordinates are x and y,
  2d co-ordinates are used to create the faces of
  the 3d faces.

3D co-ordinates

• 3D co-ordinates are used to plot 3D shapes. The
  axis used to plot the 3D co-ordinates are x, y
  and z
