5. On the face of the model construct a rectangle 80 5 0 central to the
face of the front of the model, fi llet its corners to a radius of 10 and
extrude to a height of 10 .
6. Place the model in the ViewCube/Isometric view and fi llet the back
edges of the second extrusion to a radius of 10 .
7. Subtract the second extrusion from the fi rst.
8. Add lights and a suitable material, and render the model (Fig. 17.15).
