Now, we discuss how to make this cube look like a tank (at least somewhat!). The
easiest way to do so is by extruding any lateral surface of a cube and then scaling-
down the extrusion. The way this is exactly performed in Blender, however, is a little
different.
After editing the tankFence3.blend file (for material name), rotate the grid to
get a configuration similar to Figure 4-31 . Recall that you can do so by middle-click-
ing and then dragging the mouse to rotate the grid.
Figure 4-31 . Configuring the grid surface
After obtaining a configuration similar to Figure 4-31 , zoom in. Then, from the 3D
View header, select the Face select-mode. This allows you to select any face for ex-
trusion. Select the front-face, pointed by the (crosshair) cursor, as shown in Figure
4-32 . You can lasso-select this face or right-click on it to select it.
