   To create and edit geometrical shapes in the Imagine & Shape workbench in CATIA V5, you can use the following steps:

   Creating a geometrical shape

   1. Open the Imagine & Shape workbench.
   2. Click the Create button on the toolbar.
   3. Select the type of geometrical shape you want to create from the list.
   4. Click in the 3D view to define the first point of the shape.
   5. Continue clicking to define the remaining points of the shape.
   6. Press Enter to finish creating the shape.

   Editing a geometrical shape

   1. Select the geometrical shape you want to edit.
   2. Click the Edit button on the toolbar.
   3. Select the type of operation you want to perform on the shape from the list.
   4. Depending on the operation you select, you may need to specify additional parameters.
   5. Click OK to perform the operation.

   Here are some specific examples of how to create and edit geometrical shapes in the Imagine & Shape workbench:

   Creating a plane

   1. Click the Create button on the toolbar.
   2. Select Plane from the list.
   3. Click in the 3D view to define the first point of the plane.
   4. Click again to define the second point of the plane.
   5. Click a third time to define the normal vector to the plane.
   6. Press Enter to finish creating the plane.

   Editing a plane

   1. Select the plane you want to edit.
   2. Click the Edit button on the toolbar.
   3. Select Translate from the list.
   4. Specify the new position of the plane.
   5. Click OK to translate the plane.

   Creating a sphere

   1. Click the Create button on the toolbar.
   2. Select Sphere from the list.
   3. Click in the 3D view to define the center of the sphere.
   4. Specify the radius of the sphere.
   5. Press Enter to finish creating the sphere.

   Editing a sphere

   1. Select the sphere you want to edit.
   2. Click the Edit button on the toolbar.
   3. Select Scale from the list.
   4. Specify the new scale factor for the sphere.
   5. Click OK to scale the sphere.

   Creating a cylinder

   1. Click the Create button on the toolbar.
   2. Select Cylinder from the list.
   3. Click in the 3D view to define the center of the cylinder.
   4. Specify the radius and height of the cylinder.
   5. Press Enter to finish creating the cylinder.

   Editing a cylinder

   1. Select the cylinder you want to edit.
   2. Click the Edit button on the toolbar.
   3. Select Revolve from the list.
   4. Specify the new axis of rotation for the cylinder.
   5. Click OK to revolve the cylinder.
   6. 
      

   These are just a few examples of how to create and edit geometrical shapes in the Imagine & Shape workbench in CATIA V5. For more information, please consult the CATIA V5 documentation.
