In this lesson you continued with the fundamental tools and skills to successfully learn:

• An overall workflow for constructing forms using primitive objects.
• Where the primitive object tools are located in the main menu.
• How to create a primitive object as well as reset and edit its creation options.
• How to change between a single view and four view panel layout using layout shortcuts and by tapping the spacebar of your keyboard.
• How to select objects by clicking them with your mouse.
• How to move and rotate objects using the transformation tools in the Toolbox.
• That tool manipulators can constrain a transformation to the X, Y, or Z axes.
• How to edit an object’s transformation node attributes (move, rotate, scale) accurately using the Channel Box.
• How to rename objects using the Channel Box.
• How to duplicate objects and apply transformations while doing so.

We suggest you additionally practice the following tasks on your own:

• Creating other primitive object types, with various options so that you can understand the variations that are possible.
• Try using the ViewCube^™ located in the upper-right corner of the active scene view to change the camera’s viewing angle in relation to the objects in the scene.
• Practice moving, rotating, and scaling objects, and changing between the various scene views (single perspective, four view, single side, single top etc.)
