CapsuleShape3D
==============

**Inherits:** :ref:`Shape3D<class_Shape3D>` **<** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A 3D capsule shape used for physics collision.

Description
-----------

A 3D capsule shape, intended for use in physics. Usually used to provide a shape for a :ref:`CollisionShape3D<class_CollisionShape3D>`.

\ **Performance:** **CapsuleShape3D** is fast to check collisions against. It is faster than :ref:`CylinderShape3D<class_CylinderShape3D>`, but slower than :ref:`SphereShape3D<class_SphereShape3D>` and :ref:`BoxShape3D<class_BoxShape3D>`.
