8. To complete the fixtures, construct the shelves by drawing a
3 ′ -0 ″× 1 ′ -0 ″ (914 mm × 305 mm) rectangle from the upper-right
corner of the bathroom.
Figure 5.62 earlier in the chapter shows the proper orientation.
Zoom out and your completed bathroom should look like Figure 5.71.

TIP You can snap the features of an ellipse or a circle using the Center
or Quadrant object snaps. If an ellipse is rotated, the Quadrant points will be
located at the two points where the curves are sharpest and the two points
where the curves are flattest. the Quadrant snaps will always remain at the
four points of a circle or arc that project vertically or horizontally from the cen-
ter point regardless of the object's orientation.
Drawing the Hot tub
What is a cabin without a hot tub to relax in? You'll complete the cabin fixtures by
using a polyline to draw the outside perimeter of the hot tub, offsetting this polyline
to the inside and then filleting the appropriate corners. Here's how it's done:
1. Make sure 05A-FPLAY6.dwg is open, and verify the Polar Tracking
button is still turned on in the status bar.
2. Start the POLYLINE command and click on the bottom-left inside
corner of the pop-out to the right of the bathroom, as shown in
Figure 5.72.
