Wasn’t that a nice break?! Now back to what we were talking about… what were we talking about? Oh yea, CDE! So we’ve had a quick run down of creating masses in CDE and also of cutting holes in them. You know how to adjust the forms using reference lines and points. You can join,…

Here’s a quick one to throw up at the end of the day. A quick way to navigate around 3d views if you like using the View Cube. By clicking on the View Cube, we get a nice little animation with a built in zoom extents that orients the view to the corresponding side of…
