Move, Rotate, and Scale: Understand how to manipulate objects within your model.
Creating Simple Models
Build a Basic Object: Practice creating simple objects like a chair or table.
Group and Component: Learn to group objects to manage them easily and use components to reuse elements.
Intermediate Skills
Detailed Modeling
Precision Drawing: Use guidelines and inferencing to create accurate models.
Layers and Tags: Organize your model using layers (now called tags) for better management.
Textures and Materials: Apply textures and colors to your models for a more realistic look.
Advanced Tools
Follow Me Tool: Create complex shapes by extruding a profile along a path.
Intersect Faces: Use this tool to create detailed cuts and intersections in your model.
Scale Tool: Learn advanced scaling techniques for fine-tuning your models.
