Creating a Cube from the Center
- On the Vertex Modeling tab, click the Cube
button
 .
The Tool Properties panel when creating a
cube
from a center point.
- In the Tool Properties palette, click the Center
option
 .
Note: You can also enter
values for the center’s X, Y, and Z coordinates in the Center X, Y,
and Z fields in the Tool Properties palette. Although using the mouse to
create the cube’s starting point is easier, manually entering the center
coordinates can give you more precise control.
- In the workspace, click where you want the center of
the cube to be.
- Drag the mouse to create the cube. As you drag the
mouse, the cube is scaled outward from the center, creating each of the
six sides equidistant from the center.
- When the cube is the correct size, click the mouse
to finish creating the cube. You can also press Enter or click the
Validate button to create the cube.
