The origin of multipolar structures in planetary nebulae is, in general, associated to binarity of the central star, as described by Soker & Livio (1994). In this scenario the object is constituted by a close binary system whose members share a common envelope (CE), and the mass ejections occur preferentially in the orbital plane. Multipolar PNe is more common that was thought; Chong et al (2012) shown, from a simulation using SHAPE, varying the angles between three identical bipolar components, all diversity of morphology generated by projection effects and relative position of each bipolar component, so their conclusion is that the quantity of multipolar PNe were underestimated. The SHAPE modeling tool (Steffen 2010) allows to reconstruct the 3D structure of a planetary nebula in great detail, eliminating projecting effects, using high spatial resolution images such as those from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and high resolution spectra. This kind of modeling has shown results in good agreement with observational data, revealing important morpho-kinematic features for many objects such as those described by Steffen et al. (2014), García-Díaz et al. (2012), Rubio et al. (2014) and others. The aim of this "talk" is to show a overview of the use this tool, so as important results obtained with this technique.
