In this segment we will set appropriate preferences for polygon modeling, create a triangle using the Regular Polygon tool, convert the triangle to polygon mesh, and begin the basic modeling process in the polygon editor. Tools and key concepts: Preferences for polygon modeling Centering models in world space Regular Polygon tool Convert to polygon mesh for modeling Thickness Deleting faces in the polygon modeler

Introduction. I recently received an inquiry as to how to model an object that initially appears simple enough, but includes some complex angled planes that pose an extra challenge. In this tutorial, we will learn to deal with these unusual angles, and to fit some rivets precisely in place along these angled planes. The video accompanying part one explains the project and its challenges in more detail. This project begins at a beginner level, but moves into more advanced techniques as the model develops
