How can you verify that the hole box is posi-
tioned correctly inside the head? Here's a little
hack that provides a clearer view inside your
work.
Drag a box onto the workplane, turn it into a
hole, and change its dimensions until it's larger
than one side of your design. Move the hole
box so that it intersects your design, select all
the objects, then click Group.
Voilà
! An interior
view. Now, just Undo your way back to where
you left off.

Create the mouth ridge holes
Place the mouthpiece so it sticks out from
the front and bottom of the head box. (Don't
push it in so deep that it intersects the pencil
hole.) Group the head and the mouthpiece
(
Figure 4-10
).

8. Make Your Robot's Eyes
To make the eyes, drag two cylinders into the
workspace and make them holes. See those
curved arrows next to the cylinder? Click and
drag them to rotate the cylinder into the
proper orientation (Figures
4-11
and
4-12
).
