Creating an object

Creating an object to your specifications is a two-step creation process:

1. Create an initial object in the model. At this stage, the object may not be exactly the shape you want.
2. Edit the object until it is the shape you want.

To create an object:

1. Select the tab of the type of object you want to create. For example, to create a solid, select the Solid tab.
2. In the Create panel, select the type of object.
3. Position the object.
4. Drag the edit handles at the object’s key points to resize it.

As the cursor can operate in only two dimensions, the positions it creates fall on the active plane. If the point you want is not on that plane, use the status bar to change the current active plane or to enter a specific position. For more complex positions, use the Position dialog.
