3. It's unseemly to leave the rest of the edges of the mesh sharp. Adding a slight bevel to
the edges will enhance the look and fidelity of the railings in your model. Especially
when you begin lighting, beveled edges and corners are much nicer than perfectly
sharp edges and corners, even if it's a small bevel. Select the outer edges that run all
the way around the cube, as shown in Figure 6.106.
4. Set the Bevel options to a Width of 0.25 and Segments of 3, and bevel those outer
edges, as shown in Figure 6.107.

5. Delete the history from the top railing, and freeze its transforms (Modify

6. Create another cube. Scale and position it as the bottom rail under the one you just
created. See Figure 6.108.
