Creating a Non-Uniform Cube from the Center
- On the Vertex Modeling tab, click the Cube
button
 .
- In the Tool Properties palette, click the Center
option
 .
- In the workspace, click where you want the center of
the cube to be.
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 easily, manually entering the center
coordinates can give you more precise control.
You can create a non-uniform, or rectangular,
cube
by typing values in the rayon fields in the
Tools
Properties panel. These fields are available
after
you click to specify the cube’s center point.
- Type the value for the cube’s X axis, or width, in
the first Rayon field.
- Type the value for the cube’s Y axis, or height, in
the second Rayon field.
- Type the value for the cube’s Z axis, or depth, in
the third Rayon field.
- Press Enter or click Validate to
create the cube.
Note: If you click the
mouse button to create the non-uniform cube, the values that you entered
into the Rayon fields will be overwritten with the values based on
where you clicked. Therefore, you must press the Enter key or click
the Validate button to create a non-uniform cube.
