| + | * From here, it is fairly easy to design and model. All objects are made up of lines, squares, circles, etc. Use those tools to build your design! | ||
| + | * Advice: to begin designing, think of the basic shapes that make up the object you are designing. | ||
| + | * Once you have designed a complete object, you can bring it into the 3D world by using a tool called " | ||

| + | * Using the blue arrow, you can pull the object to be as tall as you want. | ||
| + | * Here, I have made a rectangle that is 5in tall | ||
| + | * {{: | ||
| + | * This process can be repeated for many shapes and can be built upon to create more complex objects. | ||
