Examples
of the results of using some of the
Solid Editing
tools are shown
in this chapter. These tools are of value if the design of a 3D solid model
requires to be changed (edited), although some have a value in constructing
parts of 3D solids which cannot easily be constructed using other tools.

( Fig. 18.3 ).
3.
In a
ViewCube/Front
