9. Make layer Chimney current and construct a 3D model of the

chimney ( Fig. 16.13 ).

10. Make the layer Roofs current and construct outlines of the roofs

(main building and garage) (see Fig. 16.14).

11. On the layer Bay construct the bay and its windows.

Assembling the walls
1. Place the screen in the ViewCube/Top view ( Fig. 16.15 ).
2. Make the layer Walls current and turn off all other layers other than
Windows .
3. Place a window around each wall in turn. Move and/or rotate the walls
until they are in their correct position relative to each other.
4. Place in the ViewCube/Isometric view and using the Move tool, move
the walls into their correct positions relative to each other. Fig. 16.16
shows the walls in position in a ViewCube/Top view.
