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

- How to edit an object’s transformation node attributes (move, rotate, scale) accurately using the .
- How to rename objects using the .

- Try using the ™ 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,
