Working in a UCS
Next, you'll arrange the seat and back and draw the legs of the chair. Your UCS is oriented so
that you can easily adjust the orientation of the chair components. As you work through the next
exercise, notice that although you're manipulating 3D objects, you're really using many of the
same tools and commands you've used to edit 2D objects.
Follow these steps to adjust the seat and back and to draw legs:
1.
